C. Enable the port on the server If there’s no link light and hardware/cabling are fine, the NIC itself may be disabled in: The server’s BIOS/UEFI, or The operating system’s network settings (e.g., “interface down” in Linux, or disabled adapter in Windows). Enabling it will bring up the interface and should show link lights once active. This is the correct next step. B. Configure the network on the server Network configuration (IP, gateway, etc.) happens after the NIC is active. If there are no link lights, the interface likely isn’t even enabled at the OS or BIOS level yet. Configuration won’t help if the NIC is currently down. A & D are wrong. So the correct answer ist C.
No link lights and the network configuration has been verified would suggest something is disable with the port. If it was only a configuration issue you should still see some link light activity.
B, if your going through the trouble of of connecting the second NIC you should probably configure it first before connecting it to the network.
