You can't control the hashing on inbound, but you can configure the outbound.
For the Linux machine there appears to be two options: layer2 or layer3+4 (http://www.cyberciti.biz/howto/question/static/linux-ethernet-bonding-drive r-howto.php).

IN traffic was seen from one and OUT traffic was seen from another interface. I think server mode on foundry might help but it seems we need to reload to reconfigure it. Are there any way out for proper load balancing? Regards, -------- Rupesh Basnet System Operations Subisu Cablenet (P.)
