During a network infrastructure review, a network engineer needs to analyze the flow of IP traffic, subnet boundaries, dynamic routing protocol relationships, and Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP) virtual gateway IP assignments across enterprise core routers. The engineer does not need physical port placements, rack units, or cable path lengths. Which of the following diagrams or documentation types should the engineer consult?
- Logical network diagramAnswer
- BPhysical network diagram
- CRack elevation diagram
- DWiring schematic
Answer
Logical network diagram
The correct option is the logical network diagram because it represents how data moves through the network, displaying subnets, IP addresses, VLAN IDs, routing protocols, and redundant virtual gateway configurations.
