CompTIA Network+ (N10-008) — Question 872

A branch office is experiencing frequent power-related issues that are taking the network down dally. Which of the following would best address this network uptime issue?

Answer options

• A. MPLS
• B. IPS
• C. PDU
• D. UPS
• E. HA firewalls

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D, UPS, because an Uninterruptible Power Supply provides backup power during outages, ensuring the network remains operational. The other options, such as MPLS and IPS, relate to network routing and security, while PDU is a power distribution unit that does not provide backup power, and HA firewalls improve redundancy but do not address power issues directly.
