The Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) is a standard that bundles several physical ports together to form a single logical channel. Usually, it's called dynamic link aggregation (in contrast to static link aggregation).
LACP is fully supported in vSphere 5.1 and later, but only with vDS (vSS can only support static link aggregation or EtherChannel, with the IP hash teaming policy).
LACP must be prepared correctly for the physical part of the networking. You create Link Aggregation Groups (LAG); every LAG group has two or more ports. You can create up to 64 LAGs.
Each LAG can be created using the vSphere Web Client, in the Configure tab of the selected vDS, under the LACP menu.
