Explanation/Reference:
Explanation:
If the VM is not connected the correct port group, many issues could occur. These issues include having the wrong security, traffic shaping, NIC teaming options, or even having no connectivity.
Incorrect Answers:
B: On the current MAC address setting, MAC addresses will be assigned automatically. Manually supplying the MAC address is not required.
C: This option is to connect or disconnect the virtual network adapter while the virtual machine is running, and is not available when the virtual machine is turned off. The virtual network adapter is already configured to connect to the network when the virtual machine turns on, so this option is not required.
D: DirectPath I/O enables a guest operating system on a virtual machine to access physical PCI and PCIe devices connected to a host directly. This will not solve the current problem.
