A network diagram is a graphical representation of a computer network. It illustrates the connections between devices, such as computers, servers, routers, switches, and other network components, and shows how data flows between them.
Network diagrams are commonly used in IT for network planning, design, and troubleshooting. They can help network administrators to understand the network topology, identify potential bottlenecks or points of failure, and optimize the network performance. Network diagrams can also be used to document the network configuration, which can be useful for future reference or for training new network administrators.
Network topology diagrams are frequently drawn by network administrators and network designers and the below topology diagram template makes it super easy to get started.
