Thank you for the suggestions.
I've used Netdisco in the past, older 1.x version. It was nice and
useful. I've gone ahead and looked at a recent Netdisco demo and it
looks even better. Doesn't seem to include passive equipment (e.g.
cabling), though, but it might be useful even on its own.
mnet seems to be a bit more rudimentary, more towards basic discovery
indeed.
As for Netdot, I've only ever used it for IPAM, but I will try it.
Perhaps with some plugins it may fit the bill.
Regards,
Israel
