A network administrator installed an additional IDF during a building expansion project. Which of the following documents need to be updated to reflect the change? (Select TWO).
Correct Answer: E,F
* A disaster recovery plan is a document that outlines the procedures and steps to restore the normal operations of a network in the event of a disaster, such as a fire, flood, power outage, cyberattack, or human error. It includes the roles and responsibilities of the staff, the backup and recovery strategies, the communication channels, the testing and maintenance schedules, and the inventory of the network assets and resources. A disaster recovery plan needs to be updated to reflect any changes in the network topology, configuration, or equipment, such as the installation of an additional IDF (Intermediate Distribution Frame), which is a wiring closet that connects the MDF (Main Distribution Frame) to the end devices. Updating the disaster recovery plan ensures that the network administrator has the most accurate and current information to restore the network in case of a disaster.
* A physical network diagram is a visual representation of the physical layout and connections of the network devices, such as routers, switches, firewalls, servers, workstations, printers, and cables. It shows the location, name, IP address, MAC address, and port number of each device, as well as the type, length, and color of each cable. A physical network diagram needs to be updated to reflect any changes in the network infrastructure, such as the installation of an additional IDF, which adds more devices and cables to the network. Updating the physical network diagram helps the network administrator to troubleshoot, monitor, and document the network performance and status.
* A data loss prevention policy is a document that defines the rules and guidelines to prevent the unauthorized access, disclosure, modification, or deletion of sensitive or confidential data on the network. It includes the classification of the data, the encryption and backup methods, the access control and authentication mechanisms, the audit and logging procedures, and the incident response and reporting protocols. A data loss prevention policy does not need to be updated to reflect the installation of an additional IDF, unless the IDF contains devices or cables that handle sensitive or confidential data, in which case the policy should specify the security measures and controls for those devices or cables.
* A BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) policy is a document that regulates the use of personal devices, such as smartphones, tablets, laptops, or USB drives, on the network. It includes the requirements and restrictions for the devices, the network access and security policies, the user rights and responsibilities, the support and maintenance services, and the legal and ethical implications. A BYOD policy does not need to be updated to reflect the installation of an additional IDF, unless the IDF affects the network access or security of the personal devices, in which case the policy should clarify the impact and the actions for the users.
* An acceptable use policy is a document that specifies the rules and expectations for the appropriate and ethical use of the network resources and services by the users. It includes the purpose and scope of the network, the acceptable and unacceptable behaviors and activities, the consequences and penalties for violations, and the user acknowledgment and agreement. An acceptable use policy does not need to be updated to reflect the installation of an additional IDF, unless the IDF changes the purpose or scope of the network, in which case the policy should inform the users of the changes and the implications.
* A non-disclosure agreement is a legal contract that binds the parties involved in the network project or service to keep the confidential information secret and not to share it with any unauthorized third parties.
It includes the definition and scope of the confidential information, the duration and termination of the agreement, the exceptions and exclusions, the remedies and damages, and the signatures and dates of the parties. A non-disclosure agreement does not need to be updated to reflect the installation of an additional IDF, unless the IDF involves confidential information that is not covered by the existing agreement, in which case the agreement should be amended or renewed to include the new information.
