What software do you use for network diagrams?

Hi All,

Wondering what everyone uses to plot out their network diagrams ?

I tend to use Visio, but it never comes out looking how I had planned,

@HEADRAT - I noticed you have posted a couple of very good looking diagrams in the past - do you mind if I ask what software you are using ?

Thanks!

I also use Visio, the graphs you've seen are automatically generated by Unifi Controller (ver 5.11.31).

http://www.visiocafe.com is a great resource for Visio stuff.

Thanks

Reply much appreciated, I run UniFi gear myself - so a bit of investigation warranted there

I use draw.io

Web based editor. You can save your work as XML and export to PNG

It's so basic but it works. Not pretty to behold either but it's simple to use and free.

I today searched this, and settled on draw.io and it fits the job also has a Desktop version that works offline.

Ah nice! That will come in handy, didn't think to look for an offline version as I don't need to use it that often.

I've used Visio in the past, will check out draw.io
