Nic Teaming setup on a Vswitch

[JasonBlake]

Hi.

Setting up Nic Teaming on a Vswitch with the load balancing option of IPHASH.

Following this video on this article it says to conffigure the Load balancing option on the Virtual machine Port Group.

I have come across another document which states.

"When configuring IP Hash as your load balancing algorithm, you should  make the configuration setting on the vSwitch itself and you should not override the load balancing algorithm at the Port Group level. In other  words, ALL devices connected to a vSwitch configured with IP Hash load balancing  must use IP Hash load balancing."

What would be the correct way ?

Thanks for any responses.

it is simple, set it at the switch level and don't set it at the Port Group level, that is it .
