Hello one and all, It's been a while since I've created diagrams. I'd be curious to learn what tools (software ebuilds) and techniques that folks employ to:
Graphically map an existing network topology. Create new designs and implementation details a proposed Network Topology Design. Create paper printable diagrams. I'm thinking about getting an 11 x 17 color printer for the actual printed (paper) diagrams. It'd be nice to include (graphical colors) that shows wireless, cat(5), fiber and POE segments in different colors, even if I have to manually edit what a software tool cannot distinguish within it's features. BISCI, RCDD, TIA, NEC and any other related standards or regulatory (regardless of country) types of related issues and support are of interest, but not necessary for a general response and discussion. Hopefully the industry has move passed creating much of these sorts of materials, uniquely by hand, using Autocad? All comments and suggestions are welcome. Templates are most welcome! James
