network

Create network topology diagrams using drawio XML format with industry-standard device icons. Best for LAN/WAN diagrams, enterprise networks, cloud infrastructure, and vendor-specific diagrams (Cisco, Arista, Fortinet). Built on drawio with specialized network stencils. NOT for abstract dependency graphs (use graphviz) or simple flowcharts (use mermaid).

Network Topology Diagram Generator

Quick Start: Choose topology type → Add network devices (routers, switches, firewalls) → Connect with appropriate link types → Add labels and zones → Wrap in ```drawio fence.

⚠️ IMPORTANT: Always use ```drawio code fence. NEVER use ```xml — it will NOT render as a diagram.

Critical Rules

🔗 This is a drawio-derived skill. All structure, layout, and edge routing rules inherit from drawio SKILL.md. Read the base rules first.

Network-specific additions:

Check stencils/README.md for exact device stencil names (e.g., mxgraph.cisco.routers.router)
Device stencils require fillColor/strokeColor; edge/link stencils (e.g., mxgraph.networks.comm_link) do NOT
Use fillColor=none; for network zones/segments to avoid covering child devices
