racktables is relaly cool, though i question long term support. We have one of our contract customers that hired a full time IT guy, we sent him a racktables VM, this is a multis site customer, with multiple racks mixing POE VLAN multiple providers. One huge problem was we never go to the out of state sites, documentation on ports was always lacking and site disasters always ended up with stuff where it belonged, this should help to resolve that
But for simple subnet management and documentation there is zero easy product out there, everything is full IPAM or Excel. Ive been looking for something other than a spreadsheet to keep tract of the subnets, and where I put them, whats available next. PITA to say the least. Other than a spreadsheed, theres not much that scales down to just the subnets divisions, if you dont care about the hosts. and every one of them results an a sales call within 5 minites of submission if you put your real info. Its like, seriously motherfu%%er, I just downloaded it, do you think I have it installed and tested yet enough to tell the boss to cut you a 10k check?

You must remember that the parts you are reassembling were disassembled by you. Therefore, if you can't get them together again, there must be a reason.
