The correct answer is B. The LACP support settings do not exist in the host profile.. When using Auto Deploy, host network configurations such as LACP are not persistent unless captured in a Host Profile, so missing LACP settings in the profile causes them to be absent after deployment.
Question
An administrator is using Auto Deploy to create several ESXi 6.x hosts that will be connected to a vSphere Distributed Switch. After the hosts are deployed, the administrator notices that LACP packets are not being sent between them. Which statement best describes why this issue is occuring?
Options
- ALACP is not enabled on the vCenter Server.
- BThe LACP support settings do not exist in the host profile.
- CThe LACP installation bundle is not included in the image profile.
- DLACP has not been configured on the Auto Deploy server.

Why each option
When using Auto Deploy, host network configurations such as LACP are not persistent unless captured in a Host Profile, so missing LACP settings in the profile causes them to be absent after deployment.
LACP is a network protocol configured on switches and ESXi hosts, not on vCenter Server itself; vCenter has no LACP enable setting.
Auto Deploy provisions stateless ESXi hosts that derive their configuration from Host Profiles on each boot. If LACP support settings are not included in the associated Host Profile, the deployed hosts will not have LACP configured, and therefore will not send LACP packets to the vSphere Distributed Switch. The fix is to capture and apply the correct LACP settings within the Host Profile used by the Auto Deploy rule.
LACP is a standard networking feature built into vSphere and does not require a separate installation bundle in the ESXi image profile.
The Auto Deploy server only provisions images and applies host profiles; it does not have its own LACP configuration setting.
Concept tested: LACP persistence with Auto Deploy and Host Profiles
