Network mapping

[pointd]

I'm in the process of mapping out our network. For troubleshooting purposes I would like to be able to have a map showing all our switches, patch panels and wall sockets and all the connections between them so I know exactly what is plugged in where, right down to the switch port number.

Can anybody recommend software for this or do you do things differently in your organisation? If so how is it done and have you any examples?

Thanks

Network Notepad is a utility for drawing interactive network diagrams, with user definable management features such as point and click telnet, FTP, HTTP and Ping. The objects can be selected from the supplied library and dragged into the diagram, where they can be linked together using different link styles. The diagrams can be linked with other diagrams and you can also call any third party application with the IP address or object name supplied as the argument. The diagram can be exported as bitmap file.

That sounds good. I'm back at work on Monday so I'll try it out then.

Thanks
