Meraki Support says:   Greetings Rodger, Thank you for contacting Cisco Meraki Support. Unfortunately, we don't support EtherChannel to bundle physical port. The only way you can do it by using LACP only. Here is the documentation specifying that information. https://documentation.meraki.com/MS/Port_and_VLAN_Configuration/Configuring_LACP_in_an_ESX_Environment Thank you ... View more

@PhilipDAth wrote: The LAG you are referring to would be Etherchannel, and Meraki does not support Etherchannel.   Typically I don't configure anything on the VMWare side.  VMWare will automatically distribute the VM's across all the NICs in the vSwitch without you having to do anything.  Everything the VM's are load balanced automatically.   IMHO, LAG style groups are almost pointless in a VMWare environment. I had kinda come to the conclusion that Meraki didn’t support Etherchannel.     On the vSwitch for LAG (Etherchannel) it needed to be set to IP hash.  It’s set to that now. What should it be set to since it’s plugged into the Meraki since there is no Etherchannel support? ... View more

>> "teaming" is a generic term that encompasses several technologies and methods.  It's like saying you drive a car. >> LACP is a specific method of teaming.  It's like saying you drive a Toyota.   On the ESXi side, it refers to "NIC Teaming".  ESXi's vSwitch does not support LACP.  You have to use a Virtual Distributed Switch (VDS) to get LACP support and this requires Enterprise Plus (big boy stuff) licensing which I do not have. In the past, using a DellConnect 2724 (which died so I replaced it with a Meraki MS120-24 switch), I had define a Link Aggregation Group (LAG) for the ports that I wanted to pair with the NIC Teaming ports.   >> If you want "teaming" that does switch assisted load balancing, then you need to use LACP.  >> If you don't care about switch assisted load balancing or switch assisted fault tolerance then >> you don't need to use LACP, and you don't need to do any special config on the Meraki.   So if I define the NIC Teaming ports on the ESXi host and then just plug the cables into any of the Meraki ports (without aggregating the ports since that requires LACP on the host side which I do not have), then I will get the same teaming that I previously got when I defined a LAG on the old switch? ...

 I have seen the same thing happen.  Is "teaming" and aggregation not the same thing in the Meraki world?  I couldn't get NIC Teaming from my ESXi host to work.  Having the exact same experience.  Is teaming without using LACP not supported on a Meraki switch? ... View more
