CompTIA Cloud+ (CV1-003) — Question 9

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 choice is to replace the equipment, as it is reaching its end of support, which means it will no longer receive updates or support. Updating the firmware or OS may provide temporary fixes, but these options do not address the fundamental issue of lack of support. Migrating to the cloud is not applicable as it doesn't resolve the end-of-support situation for the existing hardware.
