How to

How to use a network diagram template.

  1. 01Start with a blank canvas or template

    Open the network diagram tool and select a triangle router topology template to modify, or start from scratch.

  2. 02Add three routers and full-mesh connections

    Place three router nodes and draw bidirectional links between each pair to form a triangle.

  3. 03Label links and configure protocols

    Annotate each link with IP addresses, OSPF areas, BGP AS numbers, or failover priorities.

  4. 04Style and export

    Apply colors, icons, and line styles to highlight redundancy, then export as PNG, SVG, or embed in docs.

  5. 05Review redundancy and document

    Double-check that each router has two independent paths and add notes for failover behavior.

FAQ

Questions about network diagram templates

What is a triangle router topology?

A triangle router topology connects three routers in a full mesh, with a direct link between every pair. This provides redundancy: if one link fails, traffic can reroute through the third router, minimizing downtime.

Why use a triangle router topology instead of a simple star?

A star topology has a single point of failure at the central router. A triangle topology eliminates that by ensuring no single link or router failure isolates any segment. It's common for campus cores and WAN edge designs.

Can I create a triangle router topology diagram with ChatDiagram?

Yes, ChatDiagram's network diagram tool supports router icons, custom labels, and connection styles. You can start from a template or create one from scratch.

What protocols are typically used in a triangle router topology?

Common protocols include OSPF, which can use ECMP across the three links, or BGP for external connectivity. The topology also supports HSRP/VRRP for gateway redundancy.

How do I export my diagram for documentation?

You can export your diagram as a high-resolution image or embed it in wikis and docs. The tool also supports sharing a live link for collaboration.
