Well, at the very least, I would say that’s an unsupported configuration (using LACP on ESXi with a standard switch); that alone should be enough justification to change that. As for “proof”, you’d see it in the switch’s syslog.

</div>
<div>However, the matter at hand (preservation mode), is due to a loss of connectivity, which could absolutely be due to the unsupported vSwitch configuration.<br>

Route based on IP hash should be fine for 802.3ad, but technically, VMWare only supports it with a distributed vSwitch (would need an EA or Enterprise license for the hypervisor, not the “free” license) and not a standard vSwitch.<br>
I’ve seen it work with a standard vSwitch, for long periods of time even, and then the CAM table on a switch gets rebuilt (switch reload, power loss ...etc), then all hell breaks loose and you can’t get teaming to work again.<br>
<br>
If those c220s are business editions and/or have the “free” license (non enterprise), then that’s likely a problem. You’d likely see evidence of this in the switch syslog (Mac flaps, possibly err-disable... etc).<br>
<br>
What is the reason for suspecting you need to change the NIC teaming to active/passive?<br>
<br>
Phones going into SRST mode (may be displayed as preservation mode on phones) is an indication the phone’s IP lost network connectivity to all the call control servers listed in the phone’s configuration (xml) file.<br>
<br>
The delayed call setup could be due to the call traversing an unexpected/unoptimized network path, due to disruption in it’s connection to its preferred call control server.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
