A logical network diagram is used to manage the IP address space within the organization. It is also used to submit network-related proposals to management since they hide a lot of the physical details. They are appropriate for consideration for changes or expansion to the network. In addition, vendors will use logical network diagrams to submit proposals for clients’ consideration.

A physical network diagram is mainly used by IT staff to visually document the physical connections on the network. It is important to remember that both types of diagrams are used by IT together in order to diagnose network problems, identify potential threats and weak spots, and plan network changes and expansion.
