The Ultimate Guide to Network Mapping Tools

From Paessler

Network mapping tools play a crucial role in all network environments, since they help administrators stay on top of things. For instance, they provide basic information about which devices are on the network, what their addresses are, which other components they directly communicate with, which communication methods they use and much more. Consequently, an up-to-date and detailed network map is indispensable for most IT managers. This post will present different tools that can be used to create such a map. It starts with free diagram programs that administrators can use to easily depict small networks and even includes powerful, fully automated tools that scan large networks and depict them in a map with a wide variety of information.
