Just my 2c:
There are times when not all the configuration is presented in the
drawings (IP addresses are missing, OSPF VLs, Tunnels, Filtering, switch
& port the router connects to etc). Because of this I have a master map
with all the information which does include much of the drawing, and
quite a few sub maps for specialties (ie., ospf, tunnels, l2 tunnel etc).
IF anyone is interested in seeing or comparing maps/drawings, let me
know. It would be interesting to see what others have done.
Please unicast me, multicast group filtering is enabled here.
