[c-nsp] FWSM traffic distribution across internal etherchannel

[David White, Jr. (dwhitejr)]

Hi Jack,

Yes, it is most likely that this is normal.  There are no CLI commands
on the FWSM to adjust this. I would have to understand your traffic
profile along with your config to tell you why the given profile is
almost exclusively utilizing ports 3 and 6.

Sincerely,

David.
