Re: L2 diagram

My personal experience in the real lab and all the mock practice labs I did
was to actually not draw an L2 switching diagram unless necessary. When I
say necessary I mean that there is some insane underlying L2 tunneling going
on or something to that effect. In the real lab, they will give you a
handout that tells you all the physical connections and where they go.

Additionally, they will tell you which frame-relay DLCIs you need to be
concerned with. The only thing I might suggest is to write out your VLAN
numbers and names somewhere to keep track of them. Again, unless necessary
for a specific reason I don't personally see a need for this.

I do a single logical diagram that has my L3 information, interface
information, and IGP information. Additionally, a separate BGP diagram if
necessary. My 2 cents.
