Michael is correct. About the only thing you can do is set the STP
priorities on the ports differently for different VLANs, so that VLAN 10
traffic prefers Bplink A and VLAN 20 prefers uplink B. This would be a sort
of manual load balancing.

if all the ports on access layer switch is in the same VLAN, you can not do that.
Spantree will only allow one path forwarding packets.

I would like some opinions on load balancing across (2) 6509 switches using
trunk ports.
Here is the scenario...
1 switch at the access layer, 2 switches and the distribution layer. The
access layer switch has a GIG trunk link to each of the 2 dist layer
switches. How would I implement
Title: RE: Trunk Load Balancing
I assume you mean for a single VLAN you want to do equal cost load balancing. I'm thinking you can't. I think about the best you can do is IF you have multiple VLAN's make one distribution switch the root of say all the odd VLAN's and make the other
Jims right, due to spanning tree, I dont believe you can do it in the
fashion you describe. The only way I know to do this is if you have
mulitple vlans on the access layer switch, have the port priority or root
bridge for x vlans
travel on link 1 while port priority or root bridge for y vlans
