`
`A method for designing networks including auditing a
`network to discover a present network con?guration, creat
`ing a network design sheet from the discovered network
`con?guration, placing device icons representing intelligent
`device objects on the network design sheet, selecting a
`media type representing an intelligent media object, and
`connecting the media type to a ?rst one of the device icons.
`The method further includes validating the connection to the
`?rst one of the device icons.

`COMPUTER METHOD FOR UPDATING A
`NETWORK DESIGN
`
`REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION
`
`This application is a continuation-in-part of co-pending
`application Ser. No. 08/606,327, filed Feb. 23, 1996 and
`entitled “Designing Networks.”
`
`BACKGROUND
`
`This invention relates to auditing networks as an aid in
`designing, updating and managing networks.
`In recent years telecommunications networks have
`evolved into one of the most crucial elements of business
`
`and society. During the 1980’s and early 1990’s major
`changes in network architectures have taken place. Data
`networks that were hierarchical in nature have moved to
`
`more distributed topologies. Voice, video, and data are now
`being combined into digital bit streams. The trend is for
`network services that are faster, cheaper, and open to wide
`ranges of services and information.
`Local Area Networks (LANs) have become entrenched as
`the foundation for
`the new paradigm in corporate
`computing, known as Client-Server. For technical and eco-
`nomic reasons major corporations are moving away from
`large mainframe computers to higher-performance, lower-
`priced platforms. Standard desktop devices are now
`extremely powerful personal computers, connected to each
`other via LANs; and LANs themselves are interconnected to
`form what
`is known as an internetwork—the transport
`vehicle for wide ranges of applications, and the cornerstone
`for present and future communication architectures.
`The internetwork is a mixture of hardware and software
`
`technologies. The hardware includes things such as routers,
`hubs, LAN adapters, digital and analog circuits,
`multiplexers, and switches of many varieties as well as
`desktop workstations and servers. Elements are combined
`into networks that extend from a single workgroup, floor, or
`building,
`to campuswide, metropolitan, and nationwide
`areas. Internetworking software includes elements such as
`protocol stacks (such as TCP/IP), device drivers, operating
`systems, and applications. When an internetwork infrastruc-
`ture is assembled correctly it can create a computing envi-
`ronment which—while dauntingly complex—is neverthe-
`less extremely powerful, and can be considered among a
`corporation’s most valuable assets.
`Mission-critical applications depend on this complex
`internetwork—from off-the-shelf solutions like electronic
`
`to complex database inquiry and
`mail and file sharing,
`transaction-processing systems. Such applications will con-
`tinue to flourish throughout this decade and on beyond 2000.
`Development continues at a frenetic pace in the areas of
`client-server and multimedia applications. In addition, the
`“Information Highway” is beginning to take shape, and
`commercial internetworking will soon be available to every-
`one from multinational enterprises to smaller service-
`oriented businesses.
