Abstract: In general, the disclosure describes techniques for a hybrid diagramming application to provide a flexible network diagramming environment while also ensuring that the rules of the network are not violated. A service provider defines rules for various network objects, where the rules define where the various network objects can reside in the network topology, as well as how the various devices can be connected. A computing device executing the application receives an indication of user input assigning a first network device to a first area network in a network topology. The computing device validates, based on one or more characteristics of the first network device, that the first network device does not violate one or more rules for the first area network. The computing device, responsive to validating the first network device, generates a graphical user interface of the network topology and outputs, for display, the graphical user interface.
