When I was doing the IEWB Vol 2 labs I was drawing the layer 2 topology.
There were questions from the Brian's like "do not configure any additional
vlans" etc. For this we need a good layer 2 topology that allows us to see
what vlans are rooted/trunked/configured where. If there were some labs with
dot1q-tunneling, it was nice to know the jump on/jump off ports and the path
those vlans took.
For layer 3, I did a universal logical diagram with all IGP routing
protocols, BGP, multicast, and IPv6. I drew tunnels, etc.
So I only had 2 diagrams which were done relatively painlessly as I
completed the labs.
Thanks,
Joe

Subject: Diagrams in the lab
Hi group,
I'm looking for some tips on diagrams in the lab.
How do you do your diagrams in the lab?
Do you redraw them all and make your own notes? eg. note where you are
having to do redistribution, and where you are sending summaries etc.
Do you draw a physical layer diagram, in particular for the switching
topology?
For real networks that I work on for customers, I do extensive
diagrams of physical, layer 2, and layer 3 topology, but these take a
lot of time, which of course they get charged for :) I will often have
more than 1 layer in each diagram but rarely all 3 layers since it
gets too messy. I won't have the luxury of time (or charging someone
for my time!) in the lab so I'm wondering how best to do it to give me
all the info I need quickly.
Cheers,
Patrick
