N10-005 · Question #605

Which of the following would Sandy, a technician, find in a network map?

The correct answer is B. MDF/IDFs. A network map is a visual diagram of the physical and logical network infrastructure, which includes the locations of MDFs and IDFs that house networking equipment.

Why each option

A network map is a visual diagram of the physical and logical network infrastructure, which includes the locations of MDFs and IDFs that house networking equipment.

AQoS standards

QoS standards are traffic prioritization policies configured on devices; they are part of network configuration documentation, not a visual network map.

BMDF/IDFsCorrect

Network maps (also called topology diagrams) document the physical layout of network infrastructure, including Main Distribution Frames (MDFs) and Intermediate Distribution Frames (IDFs). These are the central and secondary wiring closets where core and distribution switches, patch panels, and cabling terminate, making them essential elements of any accurate network map.

CSystem logs

System logs are operational event records stored on individual devices or a SIEM system; they are not represented on a network map.

DFirewall rules

Firewall rules are access control policies documented in security policy files or runbooks, not in a network topology map.
