What's Included

🔍

Requirements Analysis & Traffic Flow Mapping

We capture your business requirements, application dependencies, and traffic flows before touching a diagram — ensuring the design reflects how your network actually needs to behave.

🗂️

VLAN Architecture & IP Addressing Design

Structured VLAN segmentation with a clean IP addressing plan — logical separation of user, server, management, and IoT segments with documented subnet allocations.

🛡️

Security Zone & Firewall Placement

Defined trust zones with appropriate firewall and ACL placement. DMZ, internal, guest, and management zones designed to enforce least-privilege traffic flow.

📋

Compliance Scope Definition

Identify which parts of your network fall within PCI-DSS, HIPAA, or GDPR scope and design segmentation boundaries that reduce your compliance surface area.

📐

As-Built Topology Diagrams

Professional topology diagrams exported in draw.io and PDF format — logical and physical views, annotated with device roles, VLAN IDs, IP ranges, and interface labels.

📄

VLAN Tables & Network Documentation

Structured documentation package: VLAN register, IP addressing scheme, firewall zone matrix, and a network summary suitable for technical and non-technical stakeholders.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does a network topology design service include?

Our network topology design service covers requirements gathering, traffic flow mapping, VLAN architecture and IP addressing, security zone definition, firewall placement recommendations, compliance scope mapping, and full as-built documentation — including topology diagrams in draw.io or PDF format, VLAN tables, and an IP addressing plan.

How long does a network design project take?

Typical timelines range from 3–5 business days for a single-site network to 2–4 weeks for a multi-site or complex enterprise environment. We agree the scope and timeline during an initial scoping call before any work begins.

Do you deliver diagrams in draw.io or Visio format?

Yes. All topology diagrams are delivered in draw.io (.drawio) format by default, with PDF exports for distribution. Visio (.vsdx) format is available on request. VP Compass supports native draw.io export, ensuring editable diagrams your team can maintain going forward.
