You can also use Lan Surveyor from us here @SolarWinds. There's a light version called "Lan Surveyor Express" that discovers the network (layer 2 and 3) and then draws the topology for you in Visio. You can of course buy it from SolarWinds.Com but there's also a special link that we use to give it away to partners. Feel free to download to download and use that one (free): http://www.solarwinds.com/register/registrationform.aspx?Program=583&c=7 0150000000E50d Josh -----Original Message----- From: Brad Fleming [mailto:bdfleming@kanren.net] Sent: Wednesday, February 11, 2009 9:06 AM To: nanog@nanog.org Subject: Re: Network diagram software On Feb 11, 2009, at 8:51 AM, Malte von dem Hagen wrote:
