How to

How to use a network diagram template.

  1. 01Choose a template or start blank

    Select a service provider network topology template that matches your scenario, or start with a blank canvas.

  2. 02Add network nodes and devices

    Drag and drop routers, switches, firewalls, and servers onto the canvas to represent your infrastructure.

  3. 03Connect devices with links

    Draw connections between nodes and label them with interface names, bandwidth, or protocol details.

  4. 04Annotate and group

    Use containers and labels to segment core, distribution, and access layers, and add notes for clarity.

  5. 05Export and share

    Download your diagram as PNG, SVG, or PDF, or share a live link with your team.

FAQ

Questions about network diagram templates

What is a service provider network topology?

It's the structured layout of routers, switches, and transmission links that a service provider uses to deliver internet, voice, or data services to customers.

What are common topologies used by service providers?

Common topologies include ring, mesh, hub-and-spoke, and hierarchical designs; many providers use a combination for redundancy and scalability.

How do I ensure high availability in a service provider network?

Use redundant links, diverse paths, and protocols like BGP, OSPF, or MPLS to reroute traffic automatically in case of failure.

Can I document an existing service provider network with these examples?

Yes, the editable templates allow you to modify devices, connections, and labels to match your actual or planned network.

Is this tool free to use?

The diagram generator offers a free tier for creating and exporting diagrams, with optional paid features for team collaboration and advanced exports.
