Diagram types
Physical topology: real physical connections and cabling. Logical topology: VLANs, routing, and traffic paths. 2D view: device positions on a floor plan. 3D view: volumetric visualization of racks and cabling.
Auto-discover topology
LLDP/CDP discovery: automatically find neighbor relationships. SNMP collection: pull interface and configuration information. Cabling management: track fiber and copper connections. Key advantages: a topology that is always current, fast fault location, change-impact analysis, and automated documentation.
