Network Diagram

I am wanting to make a very detailed network diagram of the manufacturing facility in which I work. I want to indentify all hardware, IP addresses, MAC addresses, cable type, port connected to, etc....

Other than visio, does anyone know of software to do this, or am I stuck with doing it with visio?

Visio is your best bet, but you can do quick mockups on GNS3 at a push (though you won't have anywhere near the flexibility of Visio for edits and detail).

Ok, I have just one more question for you. Do you know where I can get different symbols for visio for the select hardware I have. I did manage to find some Dell 2950 server icons, but I also need:

VoIP:
ShoreGear 120/24
ShoreGear SGT1
ShoreGear T1A
ShoreTel IP230

Cisco:
4503
4507
2960G
2960
3750

Dell:
3445
3448

If not, thank you anyway!

Well if you just don't care for Visio, some don't, then you might look at its low key competitor for years; Smartdraw. Many find it faster and more intuitive if you only use Visio occasionally. Here is a drill down on their site to the main points for network diagrams; it also imports Visio. I own copies of both, but I own more copies of Visio so I tend to use it more.

I prefer Visio to anything else. You could also check out Dia though.

I just downloaded stencils for all my hardware from VisioCafe. I had to go to ShoretelForums.com for shore stencils. I think I am going to use Visio. Thanks guys! You're always so helpful!
