How to make technical documentation of network

incognito
Level 1
Level 1

Hello

Can someone explain me how to lead comprehensive technical documentation of network where all credentials (login&password)/explanations/parameters are included and how to make it 'easy to understand' even for a newly employed network engineer of company??? 

Documentation of network and server looks like a difficult task to accomplish.

 

My question: How to realize it and what program (by this I mean applications like Visio, ... or other programs) to use ? 

 

How to specify and make all this convenient for understanding in the technical document of the network:

• compliance with the connection of patch panel ports to network equipment ports;
• connection description on user switches;
• a description of the routing between network equipment;
• table of ip addresses used by workstations;
• graphic network diagram.

• hardware;
• installed software;
• services provided;
• network connections.

Thank you, Mark

What application/program do you use to draw a network topology and to make a technical documentation?

 

What do you think about open-AudIT application?

Hi
We use Visio always , and excel for documentation
Visio for the HLD and LLD diagram
Excel for all master documentation , all network information , IPs , router configs e, types of software hardware etc
Open Audiit is like Netbrain network diagram automation , I cant comment on them reallt I have only seen demos we still do everything old fashioned way when comes to digrams and configs , manual

Thank you, Mark!

Really appreciate your help
