Point-to-Point Network Worksheets

One set of Point-to-Point network worksheets should be used for each Point-to-Point network in your internetwork. These network worksheets consist of a map of the Point-to-Point network and two tables. One table contains information about each node on the network and one table contains network-specific internet routing information.

Point-to-Point Network Map

NET2 is the Point-to-Point network in the sample internetwork. Figure 3-3is a drawing of the network map for NET2. The network map is a detailed drawing of the same network shown in the internetwork map (Figure 3-1). The network name, the IP network address, and the network type are listed at the top of the network map. This information is derived from the internetwork map.

The internetwork map shows that nodes B and G are gateway nodes and also shows the networks that the gateway nodes can reach. The remaining NET2 nodes and their names are added to the network map. Node G is a central administrative node.
