Ways to document Network structure...I'm at a loss

[mlchris2]

I wanted to get opinions from those who use Visio and have created network structure designs. I have a semi-large network that needs documented. I would like to produce something of use other than just images on a peice of paper.

Can you share your ideas with me? I thank you in advance.

I'm assuming you mean network hardware structure. I suggest that you research and use UML Deployment diagrams, and to some extent for context, UML in general, and also know what OMG is for (dare I say it?) metacontext. Googling will produce a great deal of helpful information. If you want to look at pure theoretical specification, go to

http://www.omg.org

(sort of the IEEE of OOAD) and download the entire UML spec. It's very heavy going, but interesting if you chew on it. A great book on UML is The UML Bible by Tom Pender. It has a good section on deployment diagrams.
