Supported Virtual Switch NIC Teaming mode: IP HASH

Note: The only load balancing option for vSwitch or vDistributed Switch that can be used with EtherChannel is IP HASH.
– Do not use beacon probing with IP HASH load balancing.
– Do not configure standby or unused uplinks with IP HASH load balancing.
– We only support one Etherchannel per vSwitch or vNetwork Distributed Switch (vDS). “
