How to use a network diagram template.
- 01Outline your Domino topology
Identify the key components: Domino servers, clusters, network zones, and management ports. Decide on the scope of your diagram—full enterprise or a single cluster.
- 02Drag and drop network symbols
Use the library of network shapes to place servers, firewalls, routers, and clients. Group them by function or location for clarity.
- 03Connect components with network links
Draw lines to represent data flows, replication paths, and management connections. Label each link with port numbers or protocols (e.g., NRPC over TCP/IP on port 1352).
- 04Annotate and refine
Add server names, IP addresses, and notes. Use colors and icons to distinguish roles like admin server, passthru, or SMTP gateway.
- 05Export, share, or embed
Download your diagram as an image, PDF, or SVG, or share a live link with colleagues. You can also embed it in wikis or documentation.
Questions about network diagram templates
What is an HCL Domino network diagram?
It’s a visual representation of how Domino servers, clients, and network devices are interconnected. It often includes clusters, replication paths, network ports, and security zones to document or plan a Domino infrastructure.
How do I create an HCL Domino network diagram?
Start by sketching your server landscape, then use a network diagram tool to drag and drop symbols for each component. Connect them with labeled links, and add details like IP addresses and Notes Named Networks. Our online tool offers templates to speed up the process.
What are common components in a Domino network?
Typical components include Domino servers (admin, mail, application, passthru), Notes clients, routers, firewalls, and network segments. Ports like 1352 (NRPC) and 25 (SMTP) are often shown to clarify traffic flows.
Can I map Domino clusters in a network diagram?
Yes, clustering is a key feature. You can illustrate how servers replicate databases within a cluster, show load balancer connections, and indicate failover paths. Our examples include cluster topologies to demonstrate this.
Why should I diagram my Domino network?
Diagrams help with planning upgrades, troubleshooting connectivity issues, onboarding IT staff, and meeting compliance requirements. They make complex environments easier to understand and communicate.
