Drawing a Network Map
A network map provides information about the configuration of the
computers on the network and their access to remote computers. A
network map can be invaluable when troubleshooting.
Whenever you install a new system on your network, be sure you also
update your network map. If you have not previously created a network
map, create one now and keep it updated whenever you add or delete
computers or interface cards or make cable changes.
In addition to maintaining a network map, you should also record
related system information on one of the network map worksheets,
provided later in this chapter. You can use the network map worksheet
as a guide for configuration and later as a record of your configuration
for both you and your HP support staff.
