Try Netmasterclass scenarios. They have prettiest diagrams of all vendors
:))
If you have vlans spanning switches and they ask you to only allow
appropriate vlans traverse the trunk links, then without a diagram, it would
be extremely hard to do.
if you have complicated bgp scenario, you'll need a diagram for bgp.
if you have complicated multicast scenario, you'll need to draw it out. If
something goes wrong, you could troubleshoot easier.
Then again, it all depends on people. For me, drawing make sense.
