When a network device reaches its End-of-life (EOL), the manufacturer may stop releasing security patches, making it susceptible to unaddressed security vulnerabilities. This directly impacts the operational security of the network where the device is used. Incorrect choices presented, such as updates in functionality or improved software versions, denote different lifecycle stages like updates or enhancements rather than the cessation of support.
