The brownout issue refers to a decrease in voltage or power that can cause electronic devices to malfunction or power off, and in this case, the edge switch is power cycling at least once a week due to brownouts. To resolve the issue, the technician should install a UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) as the correct answer is B.
A UPS is a device that provides backup power to electronic devices in case of power outages or brownouts. It is designed to ensure that devices continue to function or are properly shut down during power fluctuations, such as those caused by brownouts. By installing a UPS, the edge switch will continue to receive power during a brownout, and the power cycling issue should be resolved.
Option A, installing a new switch, may not address the underlying issue of brownouts and may not solve the problem. Option C, replacing the switch uplink cable, may also not address the power cycling issue caused by brownouts. Option D, installing a new electrical circuit, may be a possible solution if the brownouts are caused by inadequate power supply, but it would not address the immediate issue of the edge switch power cycling. Therefore, the best course of action for the technician is to install a UPS.
