Network mapping tool

[xrapidx]

Could someone recommend fairly decent, simple, network mapping tool? It can be online, Linux or Windows. Don't mind manual either.

I'd like to create a map of my home network - I keep forgetting where what is, and how its connected.

I have multiple switches at various points in the roof - then in various cupboards, etc.

I then have static IP address ranges for specific devices, e.g. camera's 90-109, media players 70-89, etc.

Not to worried about mapping wifi devices - but obviously want the access points mapped. I'd also like to stipulate that a switch has 4 or 8, etc - so I can see where I still have place, etc.

far as I recall Spiceworks has a "Visual Network Mapper"

for free.

softperfect.com - lan scanner. Look for the soccerball. Angry is also a good bet.

It would be nice if Lansweeper could map out our 131 Cisco routers and 357 Cisco switches... but that's not a function of lansweeper unfortunately, it can show you want interface is connected to what ports between devices and clients etc if the devices have SNMP setup but no auto generation of any maps

speaking of Cisco,

they used to have a free network mapping tool that generates a topology diagram.

can't recall the name.

Cisco Network Assistant perhaps?

If I quickly add a few switches just from head office in CNA that quickly becomes a mess with all the cisco phones here, but can unselect them at least, rarely use CNA these days, first time in 2 years that I used it now

We have quite a few of Solarwinds products to manage them

Thanks - I'll give these a try.
