If LACP is supported by your network vendor if not you can use Static Trunks.<br />

Cisco sometimes refer to Ether channel.

I understand the base concept of LACP. Basically is taken multiple network connection and turns them into one large piple / connection to the server. The problem I have is why and when would you need to create a LACP group?

VMware, a software company founded in 1998,  was one of the first commercially successful companies to offer x86 virtualization. The storage company EMC purchased VMware in 1994. Dell Technologies acquired EMC in 2016. VMware’s parent company is now Dell Technologies.

VMware has many software products that run on desktops, Microsoft Windows, Linux, and macOS, which allows the virtualizing of the x86 architecture.  Its enterprise software hypervisor for servers, VMware vSphere Hypervisor (ESXi), is a bare-metal hypervisor that runs directly on the server hardware and does not require an additional underlying operating system.
