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 cluster Quick Stats tab.
Why it's wrong here
Quick Stats provides high-level CPU/memory utilization, not vDS uplink mappings.
- ✗
Open the Virtual Machine settings -> Hardware -> Network Adapter.
Why it's wrong here
This configures individual VM vNICs, not the vDS physical uplink mapping.
- ✗
Navigate to vCenter Administration -> Deployment -> Network Maps.
Why it's wrong here
This is not a valid menu path in the vSphere Client.
- ✓
Select the vDS in the inventory, navigate to Configure -> Topology or Uplink port group settings.
Why this is correct
The vDS Topology view and Uplink configurations show which physical NICs are bound to each uplink.
