I want to creat multiple vswitch with multiple NIC card to maximize the speed with the same ip subnet. Can it be done? or better suggestion.

If you are wanting to do what I think you want to do, then you need to purchase and use HP's auto port aggregation product.

can I do without the APA software. While VM ware can assign independent ip address to each NIC for that function.

If you want to use multiple NICs and create only one vswitch on them, you need to install APA software on the VMHost.
