QUESTION POSED ON: 15 July 2005
What can you tell me about network documentation?

>
EXPERT RESPONSE
involves creating a diagram, usually with a documentation tool such as Visio or LanFlow, that illustrates how your servers, routers and switches are connected, either logically or physically. In addition to serving as a network blueprint, it can also help you remember what you did to your network, and just as importantly, why. Check out these FastFacts on network documentation to learn more.
