How to use a network diagram template.
- 01Choose a network diagram template or start blank
Pick a home network example similar to yours, or begin with an empty canvas in the diagram maker.
- 02Add UniFi devices and label them
Drag in icons for your router, switches, access points, and clients. Name them for easy identification.
- 03Define VLANs and subnet boundaries
Draw colored containers or use callouts to show VLAN IDs and associated subnets (e.g., VLAN 10 – Main, VLAN 20 – IoT).
- 04Connect devices with cables and logical links
Link devices to represent physical Ethernet connections and Wi-Fi associations. Use different line styles for trunk, access, and wireless links.
- 05Annotate and finalize
Add port numbers, firewall rules, or inter-VLAN routing notes. Then export your diagram as PNG or share a live link.
Questions about network diagram templates
What is a home network diagram with UniFi and VLANs?
It’s a visual map of your home network showing Ubiquiti UniFi hardware and how VLANs segment traffic. It helps with planning, documentation, and troubleshooting.
How do I VLAN tag a UniFi network?
In the UniFi controller, you define VLANs under Networks, assign them to SSIDs or switch port profiles, and optionally set up firewall rules between VLANs. Your diagram can mirror this logical setup.
Can I design a UniFi home network diagram for free?
Yes, our online network diagram maker is free and includes UniFi-specific shapes. You can create, save, and share professional-looking diagrams without installing anything.
What are common VLANs for a UniFi home setup?
Typical VLANs include a main/trusted network (VLAN 1 or 10), an IoT network (VLAN 20), a guest network (VLAN 30), and sometimes a management VLAN (VLAN 99) for UniFi devices.
How do I show inter-VLAN routing in a diagram?
You can use a router or firewall icon with route annotations, or draw dashed lines between VLAN segments labeled with 'Inter-VLAN routing' to indicate which networks can communicate.
