Network Diagram

A Network Diagram shows how various devices and network components are connected to a hub. Our template provides an example of a cloud network with hub-and-spoke and tree topology, but you can customize the diagram to visualize whatever setup you prefer.

Uses of Network Diagrams

A network diagram is a graphical representation of the interconnections between computing devices and networking components in your business. These diagrams can represent a physical setup, such as local area networks (LAN) with computers and servers, or a virtual setup, such as a cloud network.

The bigger the enterprise, the more complicated networking can become. By using a diagram to visually represent your system, you can:

  • Make complex networks more scalable
  • Manage app deployment and network automation
  • Identify and fix problems quickly
  • Optimize network performance and resources

Network diagrams help you visually organize your network, resolve potential or current problems, and plan for future expansion. From enterprise-level businesses to home networks, network diagrams are useful for documenting important details that can aid in network maintenance.

How to create your own Network Diagram

To map your own network, you can start with the Network Diagram template in Cacoo.
1

Identify all the hardware elements, networking resources, and connections you’ll need to include in your diagram.

2

Then, drag and drop or copy and paste the shapes you need, such as computers, cloud storage, and peripherals.

3

Arrange the equipment in a way that allows you to easily identify the network hub and its relationship to other components.

4

Add connectors between the equipment to show how all the elements interact.

5

Finally, add any necessary labels and information for the network components, and you’re all done.

Just to be on the safe side, use a collaborative diagramming tool like Cacoo that lets you share your diagram while working on it. You can even involve your colleagues every step of the way to make sure you create an accurate illustration of the network topology.
