L3 Address load-balancing was introduced with the intention of being good for systems with trunks. Basically, it tries to choose a "compatible" (meaning "likely to cause trunks to be evenly loaded") pool member based on L3 connection information.&nbsp;
To avoid seeing the warnings change the load balancing method to least connections,ratio or round robin which are not deprecated&nbsp;
