I have used graphviz and .dot files manually populated from CSV exports in the past with pretty good results. https://osl.uoregon.edu/redmine/projects/netdot/wiki , 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. -Joel On 29 July 2014 10:35, Hamish <hamish(a)hankwho.com> wrote:
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
