network

Original🇺🇸 English
Translated

Create network topology diagrams using drawio XML format with industry-standard device icons. Best for LAN/WAN diagrams, enterprise networks, cloud infrastructure, and vendor-specific diagrams (Cisco, Arista, Fortinet). Built on drawio with specialized network stencils. NOT for abstract dependency graphs (use graphviz) or simple flowcharts (use mermaid).

Network Topology Diagram Generator

Quick Start: Choose topology type → Add network devices (routers, switches, firewalls) → Connect with appropriate link types → Add labels and zones → Wrap in
```drawio
fence.
⚠️ IMPORTANT: Always use
```drawio
code fence. NEVER use
```xml
— it will NOT render as a diagram.

Critical Rules

🔗 This is a drawio-derived skill. All structure, layout, and edge routing rules inherit from drawio SKILL.md. Read the base rules first.
Network-specific additions:
  • Check stencils/README.md for exact device stencil names (e.g.,
    mxgraph.cisco.routers.router
    )
  • Device stencils require
    fillColor
    /
    strokeColor
    ; edge/link stencils (e.g.,
    mxgraph.networks.comm_link
    ) do NOT
  • Use
    fillColor=none;
    for network zones/segments to avoid covering child devices
