Hi Preet,

I assume that you are not talking about port-channel here.

There are multiple ways of load balancing traffic between two ISPs. For example you can use BGP or Static routing.

The below links would provide you a fair idea of the same.

If your ISP connections are L3, and your routing protocol supports load balancing, I would think the 4500X would.
