    • While the information included in a network topology diagram is not necessarily specific, there is certain information that you should include for each server, even if that information has to be placed in an appendix. For each server, list the server’s name, its IP address and the role that the server is performing (DNS, DHCP, mail server, etc.). Keep in mind that a server may be

      When a server fails, the failure can often be traced to a recent change. As a part of the network documentation, consider making a log book for each server for documenting changes such as patch and application installations and modified security settings. Not only will the log help you troubleshoot future problems, it can help you rebuild the server in the event of a catastrophic failure.

      assigned multiple IP addresses or have multiple NICs, so you should document that information too.
