What is a Network Diagram?
How to Create a Network Diagram with Your Team?
- Define the scope of the network
Discuss with the team to identify the systems and components that will be included. Gather requirements, including information on the network infrastructure’s scope and budget.
Use the whiteboard, basic shapes and freehand drawing to brainstorm, sketch, and make notes to narrow the scope and requirements. Make use of Creately’s Microsoft Teams integration to carry out meetings and work on the same canvas in real-time.
- Assign roles and responsibilities
Determine who will be responsible for the various aspects of the network, such as gathering information for the preliminary work, designing, implementing, and maintaining.
- Gather information
Conduct a needs assessment to narrow down specific network requirements such as performance, scalability, security, and reliability. Then collect information about the systems and components, including IP addresses, hardware specifications, and connectivity details.
- Create the network design
Using the gathered information, you can now create a detailed network design that includes a logical and physical topology, IP address scheme, and network protocols.
Choose the right technology and standards that match the budget and the expected capabilities, and select a template from Creately’s extensive network templates library. Add and remove the network components as required for the infrastructure. Use the drag-drop capabilities and Creately’s comprehensive shape library to find components according to the standard. Connect the network components using the correct cables, switches, routers, hubs, and other industry-standard components.
- Review and edit
Invite the team to a real-time conference to discuss and gather feedback. Analyze the feedback and changes via 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 or website, or export the network diagram in various formats, including SVG, PDF, PNG, and many more.
- Implement and test
Implement and test the network design to ensure that it meets the requirements and goals of the network.
Assign tasks and responsibilities to team members through the task panel to keep track of the implementation and testing. Use Creately’s project management capabilities to manage and keep track of the progress.
- Document and share
Once the design is finalized, document and share it with the relevant stakeholders. Use Creately’s infinite canvas to document network requirements and other details. Use the dedicated notes panel for each element to add details, docs, links, and references if required.
- Monitor, maintain, and improve
Regularly monitor and maintain the network, making adjustments to ensure optimal performance, security, and reliability.
