8B - Network Diagrams
Preparations
Read this document carefully.
Answer all questions in italic.
Each student will work individually at the curriculum workstation.
Your instructor will set up yellow cables on the racks for this activity.
Before you launch Visio, examine the yellow connections on the racks and compare them to the model diagram.
Objective 1 - Prepare a physical diagram of a network
Steps
 Launch the Visio program, which you will find in Start | Programs | Visio.
 Choose New | Network Diagram | Visio Network Equipment Sampler
 Immediately go to File | Page Setup and select the Print Setup tab.
Select Paper Orientation: Landscape
Select the Page Size tab. Make sure Same as Printer Paper Size is selected.
 Create a physical network diagram that shows the cabling connections among the hubs and patch panels on all 5
racks and the South Building IDF on the plywood backboard.
 Be sure to include your name on the diagram.
 Try to make your diagram similar to the model shown below.
 Use these Stencils and shapes:

Get your page from the printer, and attach it to this worksheet.
Objective 2 - Prepare a logical diagram of the same network
Steps
 Now start a new logical network diagram: File | New | Network Diagram | Logical Network Diagram.
 Create a logical network diagram that shows the hubs and PCs that you just diagramed physically.
 Be sure to include your name on the diagram.
 No model is provided; you should plan your diagram independently.
 Use the Logical Symbols stencil, which loads automatically for a new logical network diagram.
 Omit the physical elements such as patch panels.
Just show the hubs and PCs and use lines for the logical connections.
 When done, print your finished diagram.
 Get your page from the printer, and attach it to this worksheet.
 Save your two diagrams to
Network Neighborhood\Users\yourname\1files (or whatever you called your personal file directory)
Reflection: Answer these questions thoughtfully.
1.
Your instructor will have connected the hubs as shown in the diagram on the previous page.
Go to the hubs and examine them to determine if there is a good Layer 1 physical connection.
What is the quickest and best evidence you should check? _____________________________________
2.
How many collision domains does this network segment have? ___________
3.
How many broadcast domains does this network segment have? __________
4.
What is the name for the physical topology of this network? _________________
5.
What is the name for the logical topology of this network? _________________
6.
Suppose we wanted to segment this network into several collision domains by replacing a single piece of equipment.
Which piece of equipment would we replace?
Remove the: ______________(equipment type) from the ____________________(rack name)
Replace it with a(n) ______________
