I think it also depends on the visio skills one has with putting these things together.. I'm by far not a Visio expert so they do take time for me to put together. At least some of the more detail ones. But for me the logical info must be included somewhere in the diagrams. I myself am into blending the 2 ..

Your logical diagram had a much wider view of your network than the two links covered by the physical diagram.

Physical diagrams show how devices are physically connected to each other. Logical diagrams show how networks are connected together. It's different sets of information that are both very important. As in the example, a physical diagram won't reveal the underlying evil that is the layer-3 interfaces of the chassis switch and firewall module. A logical diagram, however, won't necessarily help you if the janitor trips over a cable and plugs it in wrong. So yes, drawing clouds does impart some specificity. :) Hi, bubba-jay.

So, literally, what more do you need to know about than the physical connections existing between the devices. Does drawing clouds on your diagrams really impart much specificity?
