Network mapping software
hi
I have a number of Dell PowerConnect switches (mostly 6248), along some Cisco devices spread out over two data
centres. I'm looking to create some network diagrams of two data centres and am hoping someone can recommend
a good piece of network mapping software that I can use to map out switches, routers and links.Im wondering if there is a HP Openview or 3com network director equivalent for Dell that
I can use with read only SNMP strings. Please advise....
thanks

I've started using the Dell Open Manage tool, it seems OK to get up and running, but there's one thing that should be easy, which it isn't.
I have 2 PowerConnect 6200 switches connected in a stack and I want to know the actual port numbers of the connecting links, but Open Manage Network Manager doesn't give me this information.
Also is there a way to search for a specific MAC? For example, can I type in MAC xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx and have open manage network manager find it on Port x?
Thanks
Ps - I'm only using the read only SNMP strings to connect
