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.
