Auxiliary Network Closets Diagram

A network technician is creating a diagram of network termination points in the building.

The technician diagrammed the core network room and now needs to diagram the auxiliary network closets.

Which of the following is the technician MOST likely going to add to the diagram?

A.

IDF

B.

MDF

C.

VRF

D.

TDM.

The network technician is creating a diagram of network termination points in the building. After diagramming the core network room, the technician now needs to diagram the auxiliary network closets. The technician will most likely add IDF to the diagram.

IDF stands for Intermediate Distribution Frame, which is a type of network closet or room used in a structured cabling system. The purpose of an IDF is to provide connectivity between the backbone cabling and horizontal cabling, which connects end-user devices such as computers, printers, and IP phones.

IDFs are typically located on each floor of a building or in different areas of a large building, where they serve as distribution points for network cabling. They are usually connected to the MDF (Main Distribution Frame), which is the central point where all the backbone cabling in the building terminates.

The MDF is responsible for distributing the network signals to the IDFs, which in turn distribute the signals to the end-user devices. The VRF (Virtual Routing and Forwarding) is a technology used in routing and forwarding packets between virtual routers within a single physical router or switch. TDM (Time Division Multiplexing) is a technology used for transmitting multiple signals over a single communication channel by dividing the channel into different time slots. These technologies are not relevant in the context of creating a diagram of network termination points in the building.
