Network with icon pack symbols
The same topology drawn with the shipped network icon pack: routers, firewalls, load balancers, servers and access points as recognisable glyphs.

Why use it?
Symbols make a diagram read at a glance in a review — and they bind by default, so authors do not place them by hand.
When it helps
Any network documentation meant for a mixed audience.
How to read it
- Glyphs are icon-pack bindings on ordinary nodes — the model is unchanged.
- Per-node overrides exist for the cases the defaults do not cover.
What you need
- The topology from the plain diagram
- Which nodes need explicit overrides
Things to check
- Do not treat an icon as a different element — it is the same node with a symbol.
- Do not reach for a vendor pack — licensing keeps this set generic.
Scope of this diagram
Common-practice generic glyphs; no vendor artwork is included.
Work with the converted example
- Open the viewer and select
net. Inspect the rendered view and its source. - Open the designer. Keep the selected profile and inspect its legal palette and property controls.
- Change one displayed title or an appropriate data value. Apply the edit and check the resulting diagram.
- Run the verifier and review its diagnostics before moving complete content into review.
- Download your edited DDN source to retain the change.
The example uses the indentation-based ddn-next-1 dialect. The language guide explains reusable definitions, dotted data rows and explicit property blocks.
