I suppose the real question here is how I worked with computers this long without learning how to be proficient with powerpoint or some suitable facsimile there of. But, however it happened, I have no real skills with any of the software tools commonly used to create a diagram consisting of text in boxes and lines.
But now I want to create a legible diagram of an ethernet LAN consisting of around 20 PCs and at least 4 switches ranging from simple 5 port Netgear boxes to 12 and 24 HP Proliant boxes.
Does anyone know of a (free) tool which makes this easy? (I can dream, can't I?)
Since the above seems unlikely, any recommendations, links, or suggestions on how to not make creating a simple network diagram into a lot of (pointless) work would also be appreciated.
I figure it never hurts to ask, no? Just trying to avoid the scenario where I look back and say, "Wish I'd thought of that before I started this".
