SolarWinds Network Topology Mapper is a program for Windows to visualize and manage networks. Users can automate the process of discovering devices and creating detailed maps with a clear view of internet infrastructure.
Discovery
There is a scanner that identifies all connected devices, including switches, routers, and endpoints. It is possible to detect relationships between machines, mapping the internet accurately. Overall, users can generate a complete overview of their infrastructure. This automated process saves time and ensures that network data is up to date.
There are detailed maps that show both layer 2 and layer 3 topologies. Such diagrams display physical device locations and logical connections, making it easier to understand complex setups. You can see clear visuals with symbols and layouts that provide intuitive insights into the network.
Planning
The utility supports scheduled scans to keep diagrams current. New devices and changes in connections are automatically detected and updated in the maps. You can always have accurate illustrations without manual intervention. Such updates are especially helpful for managing dynamic or rapidly growing networks.
As for documentation, it is possible to export generated maps in various formats, including Microsoft Visio, PDF, and PNG. The application allows easy sharing of documents with team members or stakeholders.
