A customer reports that a workstation has no internet connectivity. A technician confirms the port is disabled. Which of the following is most likely responsible for the issue?
Correct Answer: C
A managed switch allows an administrator to enable or disable individual ports as part of network security and management. If a port on a managed switch has been disabled, the device connected to that port will lose connectivity, which matches the scenario described.
