If money is not an issue, then I would suggest OPNET NetMapper. We had them come in and did a demo. We like it.

I don't care if this is a free or paid product. Ideally, I'd like something that autodiscovers the network including L2 and L3 devices, then intelligently maps them. I used to use Network Node Manager for this at another job years ago and I liked how it handled mapping. It did require a few tweaks to get right, but it worked very well. Something like that would be pretty handy, but we don't need NNM. We just need the mapping part. We have too many tools that already require a lot of time to maintain. I don't want to add another one that is going to take a lot of time. A reasonable amount of time is expected. I just don't want anything over time consuming. This is a fairly large network with a large number of routers and switches, all Cisco. I just need something that works, and works well, preferably out of the box. I don't have time to build a grow-your-own solution or piece together open source stuff. Any thoughts? _______________________________________________ cisco-nsp mailing list [email protected] https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/cisco-nsp archive at http://puck.nether.net/pipermail/cisco-nsp/ __________ Information from ESET NOD32 Antivirus, version of virus signature database 5360 (20100812) __________ The message was checked by ESET NOD32 Antivirus. http://www.eset.com __________ Information from ESET NOD32 Antivirus, version of virus signature database 5360 (20100812) __________ The message was checked by ESET NOD32 Antivirus. http://www.eset.com __________ Information from ESET NOD32 Antivirus, version of virus signature database 5360 (20100812) __________ The message was checked by ESET NOD32 Antivirus. http://www.eset.com _______________________________________________ cisco-nsp mailing list [email protected] https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/cisco-nsp archive at http://puck.nether.net/pipermail/cisco-nsp/
