nwdiag has been created by Takeshi Komiya and allows to quickly draw network diagrams. So we thank him for his creation!
Since the syntax is clear and simple, this has been integrated as beta version within PlantUML. We reuse here the examples that Takeshi has documented.
This is currently only working with the last beta or with the online server
@startuml
nwdiag {
network dmz {
address = "210.x.x.x/24"
web01 [address = "210.x.x.1"];
web02 [address = "210.x.x.2"];
}
network internal {
address = "172.x.x.x/24";
web01 [address = "172.x.x.1"];
web02 [address = "172.x.x.2"];
db01;
db02;
}
