Diagrams in the lab
Hi group,
I’m looking for some tips on diagrams in the lab.
How do you do your diagrams in the lab?
Do you redraw them all and make your own notes? eg. note where you are having to do redistribution, and where you are sending summaries etc. Do you draw a physical layer diagram, in particular for the switching topology?
For real networks that I work on for customers, I do extensive diagrams of physical, layer 2, and layer 3 topology, but these take a lot of time, which of course they get charged for
I will often have more than 1 layer in each diagram but rarely all 3 layers since it gets too messy. I won’t have the luxury of time (or charging someone for my time!) in the lab so I’m wondering how best to do it to give me all the info I need quickly.
Cheers, Patrick
