Q:

Is test etherchannel load-balance disruptive?

Is this command disruptive or just a logical exercise of existing configuration?
test etherchannel load-balance int po3 <some mac here>

Platform is 6500 series, running IOS.  Thank you!

A:

Not so far as I am aware.  All it does is simulate sending data and seeing which interface would actually be carrying the packets.
Granted this is to the best of my knowledge and I might be incorrect.
