Just my two cents on NetBrain...<br />
<br />
Dynamic Mapping may be a little out of the scope as, in my opinion, Dynamic Mapping is more of a monitoring/measuring/troub<wbr />leshooting<wbr /> tool. &nbsp;Static mapping provides a layout with details, Dynamic Mapping is real-time and requires monitoring and updating.<br />
<br />
Also, the last time I had a look at the NetBrain UI, it was very pushy and wanted me to layout a network their way, not the way I wanted to see it. &nbsp;I had to fight it at every turn to get what I wanted.<br />
<br />
Now, if they moved over to a newer, less pushier UI, then it may be a nice alternative.

Just my two cents on NetBrain...

Dynamic Mapping may be a little out of the scope as, in my opinion, Dynamic Mapping is more of a monitoring/measuring/troubleshooting tool.  Static mapping provides a layout with details, Dynamic Mapping is real-time and requires monitoring and updating.

Also, the last time I had a look at the NetBrain UI, it was very pushy and wanted me to layout a network their way, not the way I wanted to see it.  I had to fight it at every turn to get what I wanted.

Now, if they moved over to a newer, less pushier UI, then it may be a nice alternative.

Hi folks, I'm looking for software that will allow me to manually map out my network and will allow me to do basic things like assign IP addresses to different sides of a router in a way that makes visual sense. &nbsp;I've tried doing this is in Visio but it falls apart when you need to, for example, attach two separate IP addresses to different sides of a router, or type in notes for a router etc.

Network diagramming software

Networking is the process of connecting computing devices, peripherals and terminals together through a system that uses wiring, cabling or radio waves that enable their users to communicate, share information and interact over distances. Often associated are issues regarding operating systems, hardware and equipment, cloud and virtual networking, protocols, architecture, storage and management.

Networking

Networking hardware includes the physical devices facilitating the use of a computer network. Typically, networking hardware includes gateways, routers, network bridges, modems, wireless access points, networking cables, line drivers, switches, hubs, and repeaters. But it also includes hybrid network devices such as multilayer switches, protocol converters, bridge routers, proxy servers, firewalls, network address translators, multiplexers, network interface controllers, wireless network interface controllers, ISDN terminal adapters and other related hardware.

Networking Hardware-Other

The Windows operating systems have distinct methodologies for designing and implementing networks, and have specific systems to accomplish various networking processes, such as Exchange for email, Sharepoint for shared files and programs, and IIS for delivery of web pages. Microsoft also produces server technologies for networked database use, security and virtualization.
