X. Thou Shalt Write Down Thy Network Configuration upon Tablets of Stone

Network documentation should be written down. If you cross the River Jordan, who else will know diddly-squat about the network if you don't write it down somewhere? Write down everything, put it in an official binder labeled Network Bible, and protect the binder as if it were sacred.

Your hope should be that 2,000 years from now, when archeologists are exploring caves in your area, they find your network documentation hidden in a jar and marvel at how meticulously the people of our time recorded their network configurations.

They'll probably draw ridiculous conclusions, such as we offered sacrifices of burnt data packets to a deity named TCP/IP and confessed our transgressions in a ritual known as "logging," but that makes it all the more fun.
