Enhanced LACP |
You can improve uplink load balancing by applying different Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) policies to different distributed virtual switch (DVS) uplink port groups. Cisco APIC now supports VMware's Enhanced LACP feature, available for DVS 5.5 and later. It is supported for VMware vSphere Distributed Switch (VDS) and Cisco ACI Virtual Edge. |
