A network administrator has given a technician documentation detailing the switchports the technician will need to patch in for a network upgrade. Which of the following documents did the network administrator MOST likely give to the technician?
Logical network diagrams focus in on how traffic flows across the network, IP addresses, admin domains, how domains are routed, control points, and so on. Within the OSI model of networking, logical diagrams are referred to as ‘L2’.
A physical network diagram will, ideally, show the network topology exactly as it is: with all of the devices and the connections between them. Because physical diagrams depict all of the physical aspects of the network, they will likely include: ports, cables, racks, servers, specific models, and so on. Within the OSI model of networking, physical diagrams are referred to as ‘L1’. So, a physical network diagram could be a network’s server diagram, a network’s cabling diagram, racks diagram, or a mix of different types of diagram that is interactive and allows you to view what you need to see (if you’re using automated mapping software).
This question is in Exam Cram book by Prowse.
Correct: B. physical network diagram - will show switches and their individual ports. This documentation is designed to help describe where computers and other networking equipment should connect, on a port to port basis.
Physical – The physical network topology refers to the actual connections (wires, cables, etc.) of how the network is arranged. Setup, maintenance, and provisioning tasks require insight into the physical network.
Logical – The logical network topology is a higher-level idea of how the network is set up, including which nodes connect to each other and in which ways, as well as how data is transmitted through the network. Logical network topology includes any virtual and cloud resources. Im going to go with Physical. he is just patching in to the switchport. nothing more really to it.
Question says "detailing the switchports" - In the physical diagrams I've seen, they specify equipment location and the main cables connecting them. When I needed to connect a room full of computers to the switchports on a switch, I needed to see the logical diagram showing IP addresses for which computer connects to which port. So (D) logical diagram.
Wrong logical diagrams do not include ip address information. Just a picture if the switch connecting to workstations or another networking device...if you want to fail take his advice
Once again, Mike Meyers' documentation has failed me. In chapter 28 of his book, the only diagram he talks about is a "Network Topology Diagram". I believed that the closest one in the list would be "Logical Topology Diagram". I'm pretty close to throwing in the towel and cancelling my exam at this point.
The key here is the PHYSICAL part of the answer. A logical network topology diagram will show how all devices are connected over the network, where a physical network diagram will show the physicality of it (what plugs into what, their location in the building, etc). The logical topology diagram will show what clients connect to what switches, and what switches connect to the routers, and how it goes though firewalls, and so forth. Both are important, but the question mentioned "detailing the switchports", therefore B is indeed correct.
The other "diagrams" are just there to throw you off. A Network Topology Diagram is the only diagram. BUT, you should also understand that there is a Logical and Physical aspect of the Network Topology as vapoodlized mention.
Physical is the actual/physical structure of the network in the organization.
Logical is how the devices communicate using the physical structure.
Since the question is talking about "patching in" stuff to the patch panel, it would be something physical.
