servers, and workstations. LANsurveyor integrates OSI Layer 2 and Layer
3 topology data (including switch port connections) and displays
network nodes in a Visio diagram, complete with colored lines
representing connection speed and labels indicating the switch port
information for nodes connected to your network.

populates each node's custom properties with the node's IP address,
network name, and fully-qualified domain name. This feature enables you
to use Visio's built-in network device reports.
If your

audits, internal support, network security, or troubleshooting, let

diagrams for you.
