CompTIA Network+ (N10-007) — Question 311

A technician is observing brownout issues at a smaller office. At least once a week, the edge switch power cycles. Which of the following should the technician do to resolve the issue?

Answer options

• A. Install a new switch
• B. Install a UPS
• C. Replace the switch uplink cable.
• D. Install a new electrical circuit.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

Installing a UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) would provide backup power during brownouts, preventing the edge switch from power cycling. The other options may not address the root cause of the power issues; simply replacing the switch, cable, or circuit may not provide the necessary power stability needed during brownouts.
