[c-nsp] network documentation tool

[Volodymyr Yakovenko]

Hello!

 I am looking for advise concerning some software which could be used for
 schematic documentation of our network in more efficient manner than Visio 
 does.

 Idealy it should be something simpler (and much cheaper) than classical 
 inventory system like Cramer, but more smart than just object editor like 
 Visio.

 Ability to document cabling, L2 and L3 topologies are mandatory.

 Idealy it should has some ability to check reality with what has been 
 documented concerning L2 and L3 topologies (using SNMP and/or L2/L3 devices 
 configuration processing). 

 This software should support cooperative work of group of people with 
 several projects with ability to track particular project changes during
 its lifecycle.

 It should be client/server based and should support both Windows and Unix 
 clients.

 Any suggestions?
