3.1.2 Diagramming the Logical Architecture
After the information about the existing network is collected, the next task is to create or update one or more logical network diagrams.
Creating an Existing Network Overview Diagram
On the stadium network project, the first diagram that the network designer creates is a high-level view of all of the stadium network sites. The diagram shows:
• The main stadium network
• The souvenir shop
• The ticket outlet locations
• Connectivity to remote sites
• Connectivity to business partners
The designer diagrams the WAN connections between the networks and the equipment at each location where the WAN terminates.
This network diagram illustrates how the information flows from one area of the network to another. This helps the designer locate problem areas.
