A consultant creates a Windows VM after installing a new AHV-based cluster.

A VM's network connectivity depends on its vNIC configuration. If a VM is unable to communicate, the first troubleshooting step is to verify that the VM's vNIC is assigned to the correct VLAN in Prism Element.

Option A (Enable IPv6) is irrelevant unless the network explicitly requires IPv6.

Option C (Nutanix Guest Tools) provides enhanced drivers but does not impact network connectivity.

Option D (Windows Firewall settings) affects internal security but does not impact VLAN assignments or network connectivity.
