CompTIA Cloud+ (CV0-003) — Question 175

A systems administrator notices that a piece of networking equipment is about to reach its end of support. Which of the following actions should the administrator recommend?

Answer options

• A. Update the firmware.
• B. Migrate the equipment to the cloud.
• C. Update the OS.
• D. Replace the equipment.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct response is to replace the equipment, as it will no longer receive support, making it vulnerable to security risks and performance issues. Updating the firmware, OS, or migrating to the cloud may provide temporary fixes, but they do not address the lack of support for the hardware itself.
