About

IT Network Pro Designer

Features
Read full description

IT Network Pro Designer is a professional-grade network architecture and IP design platform built entirely on deterministic engineering rules. Every recommendation — routing protocol selection, VLAN assignments, IP addressing, QoS classes, security zones — is calculated from traceable rules based on RFC, IEEE, and NIST standards. No AI. No internet connection required. No guesswork. THE 17-PHASE DESIGN WIZARD The core of the app is a structured 17-phase workflow that walks you through every dimension of a network design: Phase 1 – Project scope: site count, user count, industry, availability tier Phase 2 – Site survey: per-site details, buildings, floors, data center presence Phase 3 – Device inventory: servers, cameras, IoT, IP phones, OT systems Phase 4 – Application profile: traffic mix, latency, bandwidth requirements Phase 5 – Security requirements: compliance frameworks, NAC, MFA, Zero Trust Phase 6 – Wireless design: Wi-Fi standard, AP count, 802.1X, guest SSID Phase 7 – WAN design: MPLS, SD-WAN, Internet, hybrid, redundancy model Phase 8 – IP addressing: RFC 1918 subnets auto-generated per site and VLAN Phase 9 – VLAN design: IDs, names, and purpose auto-generated from inventory Phase 10 – Routing protocol: OSPF, BGP, IS-IS, EIGRP, or static, rules-selected Phase 11 – High availability: redundant core, HSRP/VRRP, spanning tree, LAG Phase 12 – Data center: hypervisor, storage type, DMZ, out-of-band management Phase 13 – DNS design: internal domain, split DNS, DNSSEC, forwarders Phase 14 – DHCP design: scopes, failover, primary and secondary servers Phase 15 – QoS design: DSCP classes auto-generated from application profile Phase 16 – Security zones: firewall zones with trust levels, auto-generated Phase 17 – IPv6: dual-stack planning with /48 site and /64 LAN allocations PROFESSIONAL REPORTS Generate complete engineering documents directly from your finished design: • High-Level Design (HLD) — full multi-section design deliverable • IP Address Plan — subnet table with gateways, DHCP ranges, usable hosts • Security Architecture — zones, ACLs, compliance mapping, layer-2 controls • Executive Summary — scored overview for management and stakeholders • Routing Design — protocol areas, config snippets, best-practice guidance • QoS Design — traffic classes, DSCP values, IOS policy-map output • Wireless Design — SSID table, channel plan, controller architecture • WAN Design — circuit table, redundancy model, topology description • Validation Report — rules engine results with remediation guidance DESIGN VALIDATION The built-in rules engine scores your design from 0 to 100 and flags: • Critical issues that must be resolved before the design is complete • Warnings based on industry best practices • Passed rules with references to the applicable standard NETWORK DIAGRAMS A live SwiftUI canvas renders your topology automatically as you complete each phase — core, distribution, and access layers with WAN connectivity and site columns. KNOWLEDGE LIBRARY An offline reference covering every protocol and technology used in network design: OSPF area design, BGP prefix filtering, VLAN trunking, QoS DSCP values, HSRP/VRRP/GLBP, 802.1X port security, DMVPN, SD-WAN, BFD fast failover, and more. DESIGN TEMPLATES Pre-built starting points for common scenarios: Small Office, Medium Enterprise, Large Enterprise, Data Center, Healthcare (HIPAA), and Retail (PCI-DSS). WHO IT'S FOR • Network engineers designing enterprise, campus, or branch office networks • IT architects documenting existing or planned infrastructure • Students preparing for CCNA, CCNP, or similar certifications • Consultants who need accurate HLD documentation, fast All design logic runs entirely on-device. Your designs are stored locally and are never transmitted anywhere.
