Cable plan

摘要

Managing large computer networks can be fraught with difficulty. Often, as they grow in complexity, paper records become incomplete or disappear and even electronic records can go out of date. As a result, computer network managers are challenged to know precisely what hardware is in their networks, where it is located, whether the relevant ports are patched out and which of them are redundant. In a typical enterprise, the answers to these questions may be, at best, found on an out-of-date spreadsheet or through an expensive and time-consuming audit of the cabling network.
