End-of-support wireless access points remain in city lobby SSIDs and no longer receive security patches. Which lifecycle action is most appropriate?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
An access point past support is a door lock the vendor won’t make keys for anymore. Replace it or fence it off—don’t leave lobby Wi-Fi hanging on gear that can’t get fixes.
Full Explanation
Lifecycle management of network components requires retiring or isolating end-of-support devices that cannot receive security updates. Unpatchable access points in public areas present ongoing vulnerability exposure. Coverage metrics alone do not justify retaining unsupported security-relevant infrastructure on production SSIDs.
