Hi, If you want to go the full stack, start open source and to have the support and com.ext. option you can check iDoIT. Good thing is, it has also a nice API for further automation and you can use it as generall CMDB. https://www.i-doit.org/ Rgds, SJ

Hello, Does anyone have any recommendations for software to do network modelling / documentation / GIS, for a campus network? Mid-scale, a few campuses with the largest being around 25 buildings. Free/open source would be excellent, but commercial is also an option. This is a live network, with v
