What is a network diagram?

A network diagram visually maps all the devices on your network and how they connect, giving you an overview of your infrastructure’s layout. Network diagrams help you efficiently navigate systems, identify risks, and communicate with stakeholders.

What does network diagram software do?

Network diagram software automatically discovers all devices on your network, maps the connections between them, and generates detailed topology documentation and visualizations. The software monitors your network 24/7, updating diagrams in real-time when changes occur, saving you from manually documenting infrastructure.

How do network diagrams work with Auvik’s network topology mapping software?

Auvik pulls data directly from your network to build multi-layer topology maps showing exactly how devices connect; it aggregates complex environments while preserving critical details. Auvik allows complete customization of network diagrams so you can focus on precisely what you need to see for troubleshooting, audits, or presentations to executives. The software also exports diagrams in various formats so you can easily share visualizations tailored to specific stakeholders.

How to create a network diagram with Auvik’s topology mapper?

Deploy Auvik’s collector and, within minutes, the network diagram tool automatically discovers your network’s infrastructure, mapping all devices and their connections. It pulls protocols such as SNMP and CDP to diagram routers, switches, firewalls, and endpoints, aggregating complex device relationships into multi-layer topology maps that show the physical, switching, and routing architecture.

What are the various visualization formats offered by Auvik’s network diagram software?

With one click, Auvik lets you capture any customized topology view and export it as a PNG, PDF, SVG, or Visio document. These diagram exports preserve all visible details – device data, connections, highlighted elements, and applied filters. You can toggle between physical, switching, and routing views of your infrastructure. Advanced customizations allow collapsing or repositioning sections without losing underlying data.

Can I customize my network diagrams in Auvik?

You can fully customize your network diagrams in Auvik using intuitive filtering options to focus on specific devices, connections, or network segments. You can also toggle between physical, switching, and routing views, collapse sections of the diagram, reposition devices, and highlight elements you are investigating.

Can I share network diagrams with other team members?

Auvik makes it easy to export and share network diagrams with your team in customizable PNG, PDF, SVG, or Visio formats. These diagram exports preserve all visible details from your tailored network topology views, including device data, connections, and applied filters.

How frequently do network diagrams update in Auvik?

Auvik network diagrams update in real time as changes occur across your infrastructure, instantly incorporating additions, removals, or configuration changes to devices, connections, VLANs, and more. Historical topology data is also preserved, enabling you to replay previous network states whenever needed.
