This all depends but at a minimum a network map should include the physical network design, the logical network design, and how each device is interconnected to each other with a port number or identifier. EH

A network ready device is a device that has the potential to connect to a network, natively it isn't connected to a network, nor is it a network, but with the appropriate configuration and possibly with the addition of components could be connected.
•Ensure that device record that you have created matches the device name chosen with Cisco IP Communicator (right-click > Preferences > Network tab). •Ensure that the selected network adapter still exists in the computer (for example, ensure that a selected wireless card has not been removed). •Ensure that Cisco IP Communicator is configured to use the correct TFTP server setting (right-click > Preferences > Network tab).

The physical topology that operates around a central network device is known as a star topology. In this configuration, all network devices are connected to a central hub, switch, or router, which facilitates communication between them. This design enhances reliability, as the failure of one connection does not affect the entire network, though the central device's failure can lead to network disruption. Star topology is commonly used in home and office networks due to its simplicity and ease of management.
