To assess whether nodes are using all network cards in a VDI environment, which menus should an administrator check?

1. I/O Metrics tab in VM menu

2. Host view in Network menu

3. Network Configuration item in Settings menu

4. Host NICs tab in Hardware menu

The correct answer is: Network Configuration item in Settings menu

The correct choice in this case is focused on the Network Configuration item in the Settings menu. This option provides a centralized view of the networking setup for the nodes, including the configuration and status of all network interfaces (NICs). By checking the Network Configuration, an administrator can assess how the nodes are utilizing their network cards, which is crucial for optimizing performance in a VDI (Virtual Desktop Infrastructure) environment. In VDI setups, ensuring that all available network cards are being used effectively is crucial for achieving optimal performance, as this can affect the speed and reliability of connections for virtual desktops. The Network Configuration item consolidates necessary information, making it easier for administrators to ensure proper network resource allocation and avoid potential bottlenecks that might arise if certain network cards are left underutilized. The other options provide information related to networking and performance, but they do not provide the comprehensive overview required to assess the usage of all network cards of the nodes. For example, the Host view in the Network menu might display interface statuses but lacks the detailed configuration insights needed for a full assessment. The I/O Metrics tab in the VM menu could show metrics associated with individual VMs without focusing specifically on the overall node network card utilization. Lastly, the Host NICs tab in
