With Static Teaming, configuration on the switch must be done manually versus Dynamic Teaming where configuration on the switch is done automatically via Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP).
If switch does not support NIC teaming, what option is left to configure a NIC team?

Get-VMSwitch
What PowerShell command can be used to create a new virtual switch with multiple NICs included in a SET?
