SD-WAN Topology Diagrams

SD-WAN topology diagrams are the blueprint for connecting branch offices, data centers, and cloud resources over multiple wide-area links. A clear diagram helps network architects and engineers visualize traffic flow, failover paths, and transport types before they touch a CLI.

How to

How to use a network diagram template.

  1. 01Pick an SD‑WAN topology template

    Start from one of the gallery examples that matches your architecture — full mesh, hub‑and‑spoke, or multi‑cloud.

  2. 02Add your sites and WAN links

    Drag branch offices, hubs, data centers, and cloud gateways onto the canvas. Connect them with MPLS, Internet, or LTE links.

  3. 03Layer transport and logical topologies

    Use sub‑diagrams or color‑coded overlays to show underlay vs overlay paths, and mark primary/backup routes.

  4. 04Annotate and brand the diagram

    Label sites, add IP prefixes, SLA tiers, and your company logo so the diagram is ready for presentations or documentation.

  5. 05Export or share live

    Download as PNG, PDF, or SVG, or share a live link that teammates can comment on.

FAQ

Questions about network diagram templates

What is an SD‑WAN topology diagram?

It’s a visual map of how branch sites, data centers, and cloud services are connected over SD‑WAN, showing the WAN links, transport types, and routing relationships.

Which topologies are most common for SD‑WAN?

Full mesh (any‑to‑any connectivity), hub‑and‑spoke (centralized policy), and partial mesh with regional hubs. Multi‑cloud topologies are also growing as businesses connect to AWS, Azure, and SaaS.

Can I import my existing network data?

Our diagram tool supports importing CSV lists of sites and links. You can then auto‑layout the topology and adjust manually.

What symbols should I use for SD‑WAN?

Use a stylized cloud for the internet overlay, routers/switches for edge devices, and distinct line styles (solid, dashed) for underlay transport. Our network shape library includes SD‑WAN icons.

How do I share my SD‑WAN diagram with the team?

After editing, generate a shareable link with view‑only or comment permissions, or embed the diagram in Confluence, Notion, or a web page.
