• Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
    Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.

I'm just getting into a deeper understanding of networking, starting from practically square one (just started reading CCNA books, etc.), and realized where I work we don't have a single thing about our different networks documented. In an effort to further my understanding of everything, I wanted to document the networks and associated devices.

When doing this in Visio, are there any standard practices I should be aware of? The way things should be laid out, nomenclature, etc... I'd like to do this right the first time around. Any tips/tricks/etc?

Thanks in advance for your help!
 
While there is no hard and fast standard that I am aware of, there are tons of examples available that can give you some ideas. It boils down to the target audience. I've done high level diagrams for management that have basic, easy to understand labels and I have done down in the weeds, label each port on a 96-port switch cabling diagram with VLAN, MAC addresses, etc.

Here is a quick resource. The Cisco topology link there does not appear to be working. This is the correct one.
