Planning Your Network
Drawing an Internetwork Map
Figure 3-1 Internetwork Map
Communication Between Networks
Since the main purpose of the internetwork map is to show how
networks are connected, gateway nodes are the only nodes you should
label on the internetwork map. All other nodes and their networks can
be represented by drawing sketches of the networks, as shown in Figure
3-1. In the example, node B is a full gateway that belongs to NET1 and
NET2, node A is a full gateway that belongs to NET1 and NET4, and
node C is a full gateway that belongs to NET1 and NET6. Nodes G and
H are gateway halves that belong to NET2 and NET5, respectively.
NOTE Single letters are used to represent node names in this example. Actual
node names must be in an accepted format. They may be either in the
form nodename.domain.organization or they may be in a valid
domain name format.
