Automated Network Mapping
Simplify network mapping with an automatic network map generator
Simplify and optimize network mapping with a visual network mapper
Dynamic network mapping is essential to keeping your environment organized, but manually mapping a network can be difficult and time-consuming. SolarWinds® Network Topology Mapper (NTM) helps make the network diagramming process easier and more intuitive with automatic network mapping. With this IT network map tool, you can automatically discover devices on your network and create detailed diagrams of devices and their connections. Once the automatic network map has been created, you can easily modify it to include more details. NTM’s maps can also support your other monitoring, planning, and troubleshooting efforts.
Discover your entire network with automated network mapping
NTM’s powerful autodiscovery feature goes deep into your network to uncover devices on your network. If any of these devices change or new devices are added to your network, NTM can automatically detect them, so you can maintain an accurate record of your network. You can also customize network map icons to create the visual experience that helps you be most productive.
Dig deeper into automated network mapping with a tool that maps multiple device layers
NTM visual network mapping tool offers multiple-device discovery. This automatic network map generator supports multiple discovery methods including SNMP v1-v3, ICMP, WMI, CDP, VMware, Hyper-V, and more. This allows you to produce an integrated OSI Layer 2 and Layer 3 network map. These additional layers help you dig deeper into your network, achieve unmatched visibility, and troubleshoot more effectively.
Keep track of virtual machines with automatic network mapping
Virtual machines are useful for reducing physical hardware costs, conserving power, and simplifying network management, but they can add further complexity to an already diverse environment. NTM is designed to discover VMware and Microsoft Hyper-V right out of the box, so they’ll be included in your network map. NTM also helps you keep track of virtual machines by making network inventory management easier.
Easily demonstrate compliance with custom network mapping reports
In addition to offering greater visibility and better network inventory management, network maps can also help you demonstrate compliance. NTM is built to be FIPS 140-2 compliant and the network maps it automatically generates are designed to help you more easily demonstrate PCI, HIPAA, SOX, and FIPS 140-2 compliance. With this solution, you won’t have to scramble to account for your devices when it’s time for an audit and demonstrate regulatory compliance with an up-to-date network map.

Do you find yourself asking…
Network mapping is the process of visualizing the elements on your network and how they’re connected. A network map is a graphical representation of your network depicting every device in your IT environment and acts as a schematic guide to your network. Network maps also display the relationships between the different elements of your network.
The two main types of maps are physical network maps and logical network maps.
- A physical network map shows your network topology in a material sense, with its devices and the physical connections between them. You’ll find objects like ports, cables, racks, and servers.
- A logical network map is more abstract and shows how data flows between the physical objects on your network. This includes subnets and subnet masks, IP addresses, routers, firewalls, voice gateways, and other network segments.
Physical and logical network maps depict the same environment from different perspectives and using both types of maps can help you get a comprehensive overview of your network.
