Basic network diagrams show the primary pieces of your network and how those pieces are connected. This article describes how to quickly create a basic network diagram in either Microsoft Office Visio Standard or Microsoft Office Visio Professional. If you have Visio Professional installed, you can create a more detailed network diagram by using the Detailed Network Diagram template. The difference between the basic and detailed network diagram templates is that the Detailed Network Diagram template comes with more network shapes.
