Configure the appropriate teaming policy for a given implementation
The teaming policy that you will choose is going to depend on your physical switch setup. I have provided a table below of the teaming policy, whether or not it creates multiple VTEPs and the required vDS version for the teaming option. Multiple VTEPs will need to be created in some instances in order to balance the load among the physical NICs. The table is a summary reference from the VMware NSX 6 Documentation Center.
| Teaming Policy | Multiple VTEPs | vDS Version |
|---|---|---|
| Ether Channel | No | 5.1 + |
| Failover | No | 5.1 + |
| LACPv1 | No | 5.1 + |
| LACPv2 | No | 5.5 |
| Source Mac (MAC Hash) | Yes | 5.5 |
| LBT (Unsupported | Unsupported | Unsupported |
