I have used graphviz and .dot files manually populated from CSV
exports in the past with pretty good results.

http://www.graphviz.org/Documentation/dotguide.pdf
All the other approaches I have used/played with required fairly
significant investment into ensuring consistency in SNMP collection,
MIB availability and/or entering things into product X's system
(Caradin,Netcracker,amdocs).
netdot is good - but again requires inventory population via either
well structured SNMP implementation accross devices or manual
population https://osl.uoregon.edu/redmine/projects/netdot/wiki
The upshot of netdot and the first approach is Free. The other
solutions mentioned are Megabucks and Enterprisey/Carrier market
targeted.

Hello there,
Does anyone out there have a recommendation for a good network topology mapping application ?
I want to see a live layer 2 and 3 topology diagrams - routing and vlans etc.
juniper space used to have such a plugin but they killed it :(
the only other mention of an app capable of such a thing that I have heard of is solar winds .
Network Topology Mapper
Any advice or experience with such an app would be much appreciated.
cheers
Hamish
