Hi All,

A friend and myself have recently completed a program, in which �WE� think
is going to be very helpful to all engineers out there. Basically it�s a
network-graphing program. How does it work ?

� logs on to all known routers in your network and issues �term len 0� and
then �show ip route�. These outputs are then stored under the name of the
router.
� Next you specify a source ip(or name) and a destination ip (or name)
� Our code basically works out the starting point(s) and then builds a graph
based on the routing table(stored as files) to the destination.
� The graph(very pretty with nice colours  ) is stored as a png file and a
HTML document is created to reference it.

What does this mean? 
� You can basically get a graphical representation of your network from any
two points
� All of this is dynamic because it follows �your� routing table entries.
� Makes troubleshooting simpler
Etc....

Well, we were stoked to see the end product (in which we are doing final
testing and formulating a module�). I was wondering if this would be useful
to you out there ? If so, just leave a comment. This will give us a rough
idea on how user friendly we need to package this....


Here is a sample diagram :

With IE, you will need to enlarge the pic to view it correctly... (just run
your mouse over and click on the enlarge button).
 

Any feedback will be good. Please remember this program is free.

Cheers

Raj
