Suggested answer: E

Explanation:

An engineer should recommend the decommissioning of a network device when the device poses a security risk or a compliance violation to the enterprise environment. A device that cannot meet the encryption standards or receive authorized updates is vulnerable to attacks and breaches, and may expose sensitive data or compromise network integrity. Therefore, such a device should be removed from the network and replaced with a more secure and updated one.

Voted E, F

The two most appropriate cases in which an engineer should recommend decommissioning a network device are: E. The devices encryption level cannot meet organizational standards. If a device cannot support required encryption standards, it poses a security risk and may no longer meet compliance requirements, making it a candidate for decommissioning. F. The device is unable to receive authorized updates. A device that cannot receive updates, including security patches, becomes vulnerable to exploits. Without updates, it may not perform optimally or align with security policies, so decommissioning is advisable.
