#### SLB-L2 Configuration Guidelines and Prerequisites

These guidelines and prerequisites apply to SLB-L2 configurations:

- Set up as many as 16 servers per SLB group.

- Establish up to two SLB groups.

- For bump-in-the-wire configurations, you must directly connect servers to switch ports within an SLB-L2 group.

- Ensure that SLB and SLB-L2 switch ports do not overlap.

- Set up only one traffic distribution hash policy on a switch. If the application requires running SLB and SLB-L2 at the same time, the policy must be chosen carefully to work with both SLB and SLB-L2. In such configurations, you must use the `slb l2 policy` command to set up a policy that works with both SLB and SLB-L2. When L2 fields are in the hash policy (for example, `src-mac`, `dest-mac`, `type`, `vlan-id`, `vlan-pri`, or `l2-sym`), they will only be recognized by SLB-L2. SLB ignores these L2 fields settings.
