Does anyone know of any network design programs? I need one to draw up our new network at Mantra Software Australia.

I want to be able to incorporate the computers, switches, KVM switches, hubs, printers, scanners, cameras etc. into a diagram that I can use to show how our network is wired.

I have searched but cannot seem to find anything suitable. Only program that I can find is Visio by Microsoft.

Anyone have any ideas?

We use M$ Visio 2003 in our company and it seems to do the above without to much of a hassle and you can get templates that refer to specific company products.

Hope that helps

found these but don't know how good they are

Network View

NetFormX

NetViz although doesn't look that good

Edit: this is probably more what your looking for

good luck Network Notepad

Cisco makes a great one, i cant rembember its name but im sure its free to download from www.cisco.com somewhere.
