What tools you use to draw network whil eplanning it. I mean something that si similar to Dude, but used before network is created.
There is Dia and m$ Visio that i use…
Also there is a online tool (Gliffy) that is great…
If you don’t care about having little avatar/icons for your machines, freemind is good for this sort of thing too.
hi,
try network notepad…
http://www.networknotepad.com/
With this tool you can draw your network map, and with a right-click on the configured symbol, e.g. a http/ftp/telnet/…-connection can be established to the device.
very useful, and you can find cisco symbols etc. for this program…
