A topology renders itself.

Aerial view of your network. See every switch, every router, and every connection — your whole site rendered as one clean topology.

  • Spot bottlenecks, loops, and single points of failure
  • See which switches carry the most traffic
  • Get a shareable map for audits, planning, and troubleshooting

Drag, recolor, annotate.
Your layout, saved.

Right-click any link to tag it as fiber or copper. Drag switches to reshape the layout. Toggle dark mode. Rename roles. Every edit is undoable and persisted locally.

  • Link colors by medium (Cat5/6/6a/7, MMF/SMF)

For when SNMP isn't an option.

Most topology tools ask for read/write SNMP, a monitoring server, and months of setup. If you've ever walked into a client site without credentials or pushback from security, you know the problem.

The usual way
SNMP polling, agents, monitoring servers.
  • Needs read/write SNMP on every device
  • Security review before anything gets deployed
  • Dedicated server, database, licensing
  • Weeks before the first topology renders
  • Breaks quietly when VLANs change
NetDiscGen
Parse what you already have.
  • Reads config files — Network Discovery Generator never touches the network
  • Interactive topology viewer runs in the browser
  • Works with configs from any network — including air-gapped
  • Generate a site topology in seconds1
  • Re-run anytime configs change

Don't have the configs?
Pull them.

Global Capture handles secure SSH / Telnet retrieval on a schedule. Set it once — your topology stays current without anyone logging in and pasting. Included free with a verified NetDiscGen account.

Schedule, authenticate, go.

Provide a CSV of site names and IPs. Provide credentials — one set, or per-site. Global Capture logs into each device, pulls show running-config, and organizes the output for NetDiscGen to parse.

  • SSH v2 and legacy Telnet
  • Credentials encrypted at rest
  • Schedule hourly, daily, or on-demand
  • Retry logic + per-device status log

300+ switch models and counting.

Full Cisco IOS / IOS-XE coverage across Catalyst 2960, 3560, 3750, 3850, 4500-X, and 9200/9300 series. Juniper and Arista in active development.

  1. Generation times vary based on the size of your site network. Larger sites with chassis switches and high port counts take longer than small sites with fixed-port switches.
