Because I'm annoying and like things that are text based I like graphviz. However if you want some really nice looking stuff I've used cloudcraft.co. It's AWS specific but has blank shapes as well.

I just want to tour I can click a button or switch type a number of ports and they just put something on the goddamn street I hate Visio and dealing with specifics stencils and all the right things just give me some generic fucking pictures

Give me a few days, I'll have a meeting with the DC guys soon.

But yes, I'm in the same boat: I would like to click on a VLAN label and see a list of all associated access ports. Or I want to click on a cable and see the patch field number. Can't be this hard. There are some tools out there, like http://demo.racktables.org/ etc. But it looks a little bit like ... eye cancer 😉

Sure, but I don't really consider that the same as Visio. That's like saying that notepad is the same as Word, one is a in general basic visual diagram solution, the other is an imbedded data mine with GUI to the data.

I've never asked for Visio or similar tools but everyone's way to document their cables and devices 🙂

lol I guess you did... but I don't know of many (any off hand) that have an interactive documentation solution like this.

I know Spiceworks has a thing that kinda does this - but it sucks pretty bad and offers little if any ability to edit it to be more accurate.
