Network diagram workflow (physical + logical)

Last updated: YYYY-MM-DD • Category: Lab Notes

A repeatable method to keep physical and logical diagrams aligned and useful for verification and troubleshooting.

Environment / assumptions

  • IPs anonymized (e.g., 10.0.x.0/30, fd00:xxxx::/64)
  • Simulated environment for demonstration (not production)

Procedure

  1. Created a physical diagram showing device links and port labels.
  2. Created a logical diagram showing subnets/VLANs and routing relationships.
  3. Added a legend for naming conventions (devices, VLAN IDs, areas/AS).
  4. Updated both diagrams whenever a link, VLAN, or routing change was made.

Verification

  • List the outputs that prove success.
  • Include command outputs (anonymized) when possible.

Troubleshooting

Artifacts

  • Configs, diagrams, logs
