How is this possible? I thought if you create a double link to 1 cisco switch, you need lacp?

If you connect a vSwitch with for example two vmnic (physical NIC port) uplinks using the default "Port ID" nic teaming policy and connect to a physical switch then no LACP should / could be used.

What is actually happening is that from the physical switch point of view is that your single vSwitch will appear as two different switches, each with a certain amount of MAC addresses connected to it. This effect is created since each VM is "pinned" to a uplink vmnic and all traffic from that VM will always leave through the same interface.
