From both vCenter Server and vSphere
Client. Allows you to set up the MAC

center can handle networking traffic for all
associated hosts on the data center.
Cisco IOS XE Release 3.9SDistributed VSwitch
Provides automatic load balancing across
hosts.
Cisco IOS XE Release 3.10SDistributed Resources Scheduler
From both vCenter Server and vSphere
Client. Load balancing and failover policies
allow you to determine how network traffic
is distributed between adapters and how to
reroute traffic if an adapter fails.
Cisco IOS XE Release 3.9SNIC Load Balancing
From both vCenter Server and vSphere
Client. Allows you to set up an
environment where each virtual switch
connects to two uplink adapters that form
a NIC team. The NIC teams can then either
share the load of traffic between physical
and virtual networks among some or all of
its members, or provide passive failover in
the event of a hardware failure or a network
outage.
NIC Teaming can cause a large
number of ARP packets to flood
the Cisco CSR 1000v and
overload the CPU. To avoid this
situation, reduce the number of
ARP packets and implement NIC
Teaming as Active-Standby rather
than Active-Active.
