About network diagram generator
Describe devices, groups and links to get a network diagram of routers, servers and clients.
Good practice
- Group devices by subnet or location.
- Label links with bandwidth or protocol where it matters.
A worked example
An office network might have an Internet group with a modem, a Router connecting to a Switch, and the switch linking two PCs, a printer and a Wi-Fi access point. The diagram makes the layout clear for troubleshooting and documentation.
Tips
- Label links with speeds or IP ranges where it helps.
- Group devices by subnet or room.
- Keep a diagram updated whenever the network changes.
Example layout
A small business can draw its modem, router, firewall, switch and the groups for staff devices, servers and guest Wi-Fi, with labelled links. It is a clear reference when something goes wrong.
Documentation
Include IP ranges, VLAN numbers and device names, and store the diagram with your network notes.
