CompTIA Network+ (N10-007) — Question 517

A network engineer is trying to determine where to place a firewall based on the flow of traffic. Which of the following types of documentation would assist the engineer in doing this?

Answer options

• A. Change management
• B. Rack diagram
• C. Network configuration
• D. Network diagram

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D, as a network diagram visually represents the layout of the network, including devices and their interconnections, which is crucial for determining firewall placement. Options A, B, and C do not provide the necessary visual context of the network topology and traffic flow needed for this decision.
