Network Diagramming Conventions & Best Practices

[gronkhead]

I'm looking for some material on best practices for network documentation and network diagrams. The kinds of things I'm interested in are document layout, Layer 2 vs. Layer 3 conventions, common mistakes, and of course, sample documents!

Documentation in the field can be a very subjective thing. My goal is to end up with a set of templates to use internally and with clients for clear, concise network diagrams and associated documentation.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!

I would be very interested in seeing sanitized versions of your drawings format. Our head engineer is considering doing all our network drawings in a similar fashion. Thank You for your prompt response, JBM

Hello,

Like Kathleen, I would recommend using Visio, and documenting as much information as possible, but without bombarding the reader with so much information at one time.

This is why it is better to document L1 and L3 solutions and configurations I think.

That normally has all the pertinent information needed.
