Core Network diagram examples???

[ermitchell]

I am curently redesigning our core network and going away from a colapsed core (2-6513s)to a full core/distribution/access model(6-6513s or close). our network diagrams are already extremely complex and I am looking for a few good examples of large core enterprise network diagrams. Can anyone share ideas or links to standard practices. We currently use Visio but are open to any other applications that might help us get through this. Really looking for good ways to diagram layer3 and layer 2 as well as logical flows.

Thanks

Eric

Hello Eric,

Here's a link to a Cisco data center/network architecture design guide, that I found very helpful - takes into account sites with Mainframes & OSAs. Has necessary diagrams of all the layers involved.
