I am trying to finally get my homelab organized, and I need assistance visualizing my network. I am just wondering if there are tools out there that assist with this. I have tried the paint and gimp routes, and I find myself spending more time trying to make it look good and organized rather than actually mapping my network. Is there any utility out there that is purpose build just for visualizing network topology? Or am I better off with just graph paper, pencil and a straight edge?
Man, MS WORD features block diagrams, full of shapes that might be connected to one another with adjustable lines and it will be far superior tool to either of these abominations...
There are also countless tools that might help you, that are either dedicated to this task, or simply useful enough to get the job done.
