ESX does support link aggregation, if by that is meant more than one Ethernet switch-to-ESX bundle, acting as a single logical pipe, and with stacked TOR switch configurations the bundles Ethernet links can connect to different TOR switches for redundancy. Nexus 1000V is better for network visibility and management, though.
