LAG not working between ESXi 8 and Netgear 4300 series switch..

I've got this setup:

2 Netgear M4300 12X12F (Stacked using 2 ports) 

4 HP DL360Gen10 servers with a 2 port 10GB NIC each and VMWare ESXi 8

I created a STATIC LAG for each servers with one port in each switch of the stack.

LAGs has the following config: (Link Trap: Disable, STP Mode: Enable, Static Mode: Enable, Hash Mode: Src/Dst IP and TCP/UDP Port Fields)

LAGs are configured as Trunks (Switch Port Mode) with one Native VLAN (say 140) and several tagged VLANs.  ESXi Management Network uses the Native VLAN (Untagged)

At the ESXi side, Virtual Switches has the 2 interfeces of the LAG set to Active and NIC teaming Load Balancing Policy set to Route Based on IP Hash

I read Vmware KB article 1001938 and I think my setup is compliant.

The problem:

I remove the ports from the LAGs and let them as standalone VLAN trunks and everything works fine.When I add the ports to the LAGs traffic keeps flowing ok for some time but gets interrumpted a few minutes later on some ramdom hosts.

Any suggestion would be much appreciated...

Thnx.
