LAN MapShot?
Automatic Diagramming Software
Getting up-to-date network maps is a time-consuming task. If you're creating them manually, they'll be out of date upon completion. The popularity of switched networks, with their traffic isolation and on-the-fly packet forwarding design, has made having visibility into device connections and locations nearly impossible.
With LAN MapShot, an instant view of your switched Ethernet network is only a single mouse click away.
LAN MapShot maps your Network down to the PC instantly!
* Easy to use - one click, form a network map
* Simple installation
* Quick device discovery
* Works with any edition of Microsoft Visio 2000
* Easy to understand heirarchical maps
Note: "Fluke LAN Mapshot" (DCS7602) is $399 @ Data Comm Warehouse; 1-800-328-2261 (24/7); warehouse.com
Network Inspector?
Network Monitoring and Analysis Software
Network Inspector is a powerful network monitoring, troubleshooting and data analysis solution.
Designed for switched Ethernet LANs, Network Inspector actively monitors and diagnoses problems in TCP/IP, IPX®, and NetBIOS® environments. It rapidly identifies whether the problems lie on the server, client, switch, router, or printer through its quick discovery process. It also provides an extensive suite of reports identifying all devices in the LAN, their services as well as an array of tools and reports for data analysis.
Whether you need reports on IP and IPX® or detailed infrastructure diagrams, Network Inspector makes network documentation quick and easy. Data is collected and automatically exported to Microsoft® Visio, creating an instant diagram of your infrastructure devices.
Note: "Network Inspector Version 5.0" (DTS1719) is $5859 @ Data Comm Warehouse; 1-800-328-2261 (24/7); warehouse.com
The below products were not offered by DCW so have no pricing info on them. Would imagine they're a bit pricey.
