What is a Cisco Network Diagram?
How to Create a Cisco Network Diagram with Your Team?
- Define the scope of the network diagram
Brainstorm, discuss and define the scope of Cisco network infrastructure with your team. List down the devices, connections, and features that need to be included. Don’t forget to include the budget as well.
Invite the team to work on the infinite canvas in real-time. Connect via Microsoft Teams and open the workspace through the app’s integration to discuss. Use Creately’s freehand drawing and whiteboard capabilities to bring everyone to the same platform and conceptualize.
- Gather information
Gather information about the network topology and devices, such as IP addresses, hostnames, and connections. Document the gathered data.
Import data from a spreadsheet directly to the canvas or include information in the notes panel as attachments.
- Assign roles and responsibilities
Assign roles and responsibilities to team members as diagram creators, editors, and reviewers.
Create a workspace and share with team members. Use multiple role levels and editing permissions to manage. You can also use the task panel to assign specific tasks and responsibilities and to keep track of the progress.
- Start creating the diagram
Select a template from Creately’s extensive network template library or use the wide array of Cisco icons available on the shape library to design from scratch. Add and remove the network components as required. Use the drag-drop capabilities and Creately’s comprehensive shape library to find components according to the standard.
Connect the network components by using the correct cables, switches, routers, hubs, and other industry-standard components.
- Hold regular meetings to review and discuss
Have several meetups with the team to work on the diagram. Use full version history to track and to revert back to any iteration if needed.
- Review, approve and finalize
Invite relevant team members, peers or stakeholders to review, approve and finalize. Analyze the feedback and changes via the in-line commenting and version history to modify or improve the proposed network infrastructure.
Once finalized, use Google/Microsoft add-ons, embed in an email, website, or export the network diagram in various formats including JPEG, PNG, SVG, PDF, and many more.
