Thanks for that I was looking for the same thing.

On Debian there is also a Network icon set called Dia-rib-Network which 
should prove very helpful

[Hampshire] Diagram tool for network wiring?

2014-11-27 Thread Chris Dennis

Hello folks

Can anyone suggest a linuxy tool for drawing a diagram of a local area network?

I want to be able to represent cables, sockets, switches, computers etc.

That's straightforward in itself, but I also want to show that there are six 
cables entering the trunking by the switch, 2 cables branch out to sockets, and 
4 cables continue in a different bit of trunking that disappears down to the 
floor below... etc.  Lots of awkward stuff like that.  And ideally in three 
dimensions.   It quickly gets tedious trying to wrangle the lines in parallel 
groups.

I've tried with Yed and LibreOffice Draw, but it very quickly becomes 
unworkable.

Any ideas would be very welcome.

Cheers,

Chris
