I'd like to know what software people are using to document networks. Visio is obvious but feels like a straight jacket to me. I liked netviz but it seems owned by CA and unsupported nowadays.
What do you use?
I'd like to put a second request. I often want to very quickly mock-up a diagram that I'm going to use for myself or for internal purposes.
Is there any application that takes some kind of *simple* description and produces a (possibly not so beautiful) picture? For example, I might say something like:
Router(rtr1) connects to vlan 100 Router(rtr2) connects to Router(rtr1) via T1 switch(sw1) connects to vlan100 switch(sw2) connects to Router(rtr2) A few hosts connect to Switch(sw1) A few hosts connect to Switch(sw2)
Isn't there something comparable, at the virtual level, that draws pictures from RPSL descriptions?
