did find in the manual that on the SG500 series supports two modes of load balancing. src-dst-mac and src-dst-mac-ip. Default is src-dst-mac. I changed it to src-dst-mac-ip. It didn't seem to help.
The actual load balancing mode does not matter, each side is free to select how it will distribute the outgoing frames.
The other lags that are working are src-dst-mac still.
One question here: are you sure that they work? You would have to have some VMs and quite a lot of clients with different IP addresses to be sure to traffic is distributed on all links and depending on how you have tested this - it might actually not work fully there too.
One more question: are you sure that this specific Cisco switches support cross-switch etherchannel? I have not worked with the SG500 so I do not know, but many switches do not.
