Link aggregation and vShield

Hi

Is it part of vShield requirement to configure link aggregation on physical switch and LACP on vDS?

Thanks

Are you referring to vShield Edge? It has no requirement on the load balancing mechanism employed by the attached vSwitch. You can use etherchannel/LACP if you want to and configured your switches accordingly, but you might as well just use port-id based load balancing or load-based teaming on a dvS.
