 I've talked to many network administrators over the years, and I've visited and consulted for a variety of operations that had anywhere from 10 to 600 clients. The one characteristic that all the organizations have had in common is the lack of good network documentation. Even in my own business, my documentation has, at times, been quite weak. Creating documentation is time-consuming, detail-oriented, and boring. It is also absolutely essential to the health of your network. An administrator's handbook containing network documentation could even save your job.

 According to recent ZDNet research, wireless networks are predicted to be the number one networking initiative in 2005. That means more and more IT personnel will be planning, installing, and supporting wireless networks. Those who have experience with wireless projects already know there is a plethora of configuration options and choices that must be made in each one of these stages. Fortunately, there are numerous articles and tools available to aid IT professionals to make these choices. However, what is rarely discussed is the importance of proper wireless documentation. As in any major IT project, documentation should be on the short list of items to carry out. Presented here are five top reasons why documentation of your wireless network is important.

 Undocumented networks are extremely common. Many times this is related more to the difficulty of keeping the documentation up to date rather than to the difficulty of the documentation process itself. Many LAN Administrators had big dreams at one time of keeping elaborate drawings detailing every last aspect of the network. However, networks tend to change too frequently for such drawings to stay current. In spite of the difficulty, having a well documented network can help you solve problems quickly when they arise and is vital to the overall security of your network. In this article, we’ll discuss some alternative documentation methods that are more practical in the ever changing world of networks.
