CompTIA Network+ (N10-007) — Question 546

A technician is troubleshooting a workstation's network connectivity and wants to confirm which switchport corresponds to the wall jack the PC is using. Which of the following concepts would BEST help the technician?

Answer options

• A. Consistent labeling
• B. Change management
• C. Standard work instructions
• D. Inventory management
• E. Network baseline

Correct answer: A

Explanation

Consistent labeling is crucial as it allows technicians to easily identify which switchport corresponds to a specific wall jack, simplifying troubleshooting. The other options, such as change management and inventory management, do not directly assist in identifying physical connections, and standard work instructions and network baselines do not specifically address the immediate need for port identification.
