Network Mapping Software

[Eli Stair]

For
   "mapping == graphical"
Whatever the equivalent of Visio is on Linux (GPL of course).
   "mapping == device discovery"

Netdisco
netdi
opennms
cacti plugin (mac?)
intermapper


The first two items are OSS network management tools, for maintaining 
and controlling device configs.  They have integrated discovery (SNMP, 
CDP, FDP, etc).

The third is another device/service monitoring of a similar vein to Nagios.

There's a cacti plugin that is slowly coming to maturity that integrates 
device discovery with polling into the interface.  Doesn't support 
Foundry gear yet, so I haven't looked at it.

*intermapper - A $commercial$ tool that tries to integrate 
auto-discovery with monitoring, and a "pertifying" map drawing tool. 
Works well for scanning networks via SNMP and outputting the results to 
a file, IMO.
