    Hi Musfir,

    The link status should come down, and redundant should work. Please try removing the link or switching off one switch .

    Or In NIC Teaming use Beacon probing

    According to the screen shots you configured the vSwitch policy for "Beacon Probing" (which isn't useful with only two uplinks) and did override this in the port group settings with "Link Status only". I'd recommend you reset the vSwitch to the default "Link Status only". Once done login to the host's console (or SSH) and run esxtop (press "n" for networking) and check whether the failover works as expected when unplugging or disabling one of the uplinks.
