– Use an arrow to label where there should be adequate space behind the rack for access during service work.
B. On the page following the rack diagrams on the answer sheet, sketch a network
diagram showing how the networking devices would likely be connected.
(You are encouraged to check that your diagram features ALL of the
devices listed, arranged in a suitable structure likely to function correctly).
