Thanks all for your input.
One thing that hits me is how different networks are documented.
Are there any best practice communicated (RFC/IETF)?
I like the idea of having one physical version showing cables and devices
(CDP/EDP/LLDP view pretty much) and one logical view showing IP subnets.
Many times I found *documented* networks where this is all combined making
it very unclear.
The hard part is to visually show what VLANs are active in each switch.
Thoughts?
