EtherChannel's False Sense of Security


Listen Later

EtherChannel is a technology that lets you interconnect two Ethernet switches with multiple physical links and then logically bind those multiple physical connections into a single logical connection. This can give you increased bandwidth between your switches, load balancing, and fault tolerance. But... there's a catch.

In this episode, you'll learn the basics of EtherChannel, dig into the binary math behind its load balancing algorithms, discover why EtherChannel might be giving you a false sense of security, and how to fix it.

Finally, here's where you can pick up my brand new CCNA R/S (200-125) Complete Video course:
