Answer analysis

Option-by-option breakdown

For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.

✓
Check the physical switch ports and cables for uplink2 and uplink3.
Why this is correct
Physical connectivity issues are the most common cause of down uplinks.
✗
Increase the MTU to 9000 to improve performance.
Why it's wrong here
MTU change does not affect link status.
✗
Disable LACP on the VDS to allow single-uplink operation.
Why it's wrong here
LACP is not causing the down state.
✗
Remove the down uplinks from the VDS.
Why it's wrong here
Removing uplinks would reduce redundancy further.
