[tanner.zaitt]

Hi, my question today is  how can I create documentation really good documentation for network infrastructure ?

I heard about Microsoft Visio  and I try to create documentation from zero to end with it.


Which tools I can use to describe with the best way all L2 and L3 network in our organization?

I need from your experience and advices.


I want to describe connections between all network devices and I want to describte all ports, all trunks, all vlans, all downlinks and uplinks, locations, and so and so.


I need to see example how you do it.

Hi,

From my job experience in different companies, I've always come across Microsoft Visio, it offers the most robust features and level y detail when creating your logical or physical topology along its documentation. I don't deny there are many other tools out there but I've always preferred going through this type of diagrams or creating them in Visio.

I've attached some of the documentation I have previously created with this tool, not sure if you require a more level of detail, which can be done.
