A network map provides information
about the configuration of the computers on the network and their
access to remote computers. A network map can be invaluable when
troubleshooting.
Whenever you install a new system on your network, be sure
you also update your network map. If you have not previously created
a network map, create one now and keep it updated whenever you add
or delete computers or interface cards or make cable changes.
In addition to maintaining a network map, you should also
record related system information on one of the network map worksheets,
provided later in this chapter. You can use the network map worksheet
as a guide for configuration and later as a record of your configuration
for both you and your HP support staff.
