Hi,

Could anyone let me know if DVS supports 802.3ad LACP (dynamic negotiation).I know that vSwitch didn't support it.

Thanks

Thanks for the link.

Yes, Nexus1000V supports it. Thats the reason I am inclined to think that DVS also supports it, as Nexus1000V is implemented using the VMWare Distributed Virtual Networking APIs.

Lets see if we get any responses from others.

Thanks

According to this document only the Nexus 1000V supports LACP

There is a matrix that shows what features are available on each type of switch.
