CompTIA Network+ (N10-008) — Question 734
A company is upgrading the network switches at its backup data center, which is geographically separated from the main data center. The company hired a contractor to physically install and cable the new switches in their cabinets. Which of the following should the network engineering team provide to ensure the job is completed accurately?
Answer options
- A. Rack diagram
- B. IDF diagram
- C. Site survey
- D. Logical diagram
Correct answer: A
Explanation
A Rack diagram is essential for showing the physical layout and placement of the switches in the cabinets, ensuring the contractor can accurately complete the installation. The IDF diagram focuses on the Intermediate Distribution Frame and doesn't provide specifics about cabinet layouts. A Site survey is more about assessing physical locations rather than guiding installations, while a Logical diagram illustrates network design rather than physical setups.
