How steps to draw a network diagram.

Answer 1

Steps to draw a network diagram:

1. Select a network diagram template

In the Documents section, click on the orange +Document button and double-click on the Network Diagram template.

2. Name the network diagram

Click on the Network Diagram header in the top left corner of the screen. A pop-up screen opens, type the name of your diagram in the text box and click OK. The name of your network diagram appears in the top left corner of the screen.

3. Remove existing elements that you don’t need on your diagram

A template is just a starting point, but if there are any elements on the network diagram template that you won’t be using, remove them now. Click on the item and then right-click on the mouse. Menu options will appear on the screen, select Delete.

4. Add network components to the diagram

In the left column of the screen, you’ll notice a plethora of computer-related icons. You can choose from our options, standard icons, Cisco (basic and extended), network, electronics, audio equipment, and Bing images. There are a lot of options, so you may want to enter the name of the network device you’re looking for in the search box at the top of the left column. You can also scroll through the images/icons. When you see one you like, click on it and drag it to the screen.

5. Name the items in your network diagram

Before you start drawing network connections, let’s name the items added to the diagram. As you can see, you can group entities by drawing squares around them. Here’s how to add text and draw squares.

6. Draw connections between components

Double-click on any component and then click and hold one of the orange circles, and drag the line to the appropriate symbol. Continue to draw all the connections on the network diagram.

7. Add a title and share your network diagram

The title at the top of your network diagram grid is the same as what you named the file. If you want to change the name on the actual diagram, double-click the diagram title and type in a new name. If you’d like to adjust the font and type size, use the shortcut keys in the menu bar at the top of the screen.
