I agree with bharathl,
vNetwork standard switch doesn't support LACP.
and I don't see any issue raising queries, even if you are vcp5-dcv. So don't feel shy asking any question in community when you are not too sure of something.
it's all about knowledge sharing and helping each other.
I respectfully disagree with npadmani. Per: VMware KB: Host requirements for link aggregation for ESXi and ESX
"The only load balancing option for vSwitch or vDistributed Switch that can be used with EtherChannel is IP HASH"
I still don't like vDS (or whatever they are officially called this week) and only use them where there is a significant advantage justified by use case.
In either case vSS or vDS, use of IP hash has significant limits and should be enabled only when there is a reason to do so.

P.S. I strongly agree with npadmani in that there is no room for criticism of a legitimate question. There are many users that try to increase their numbers with nonsensical and content-less posts, but the original question did not seem to me to be one of them.
