Need to do a one off network diagram any suggestions for a no charge version?

[computertechguy]

I need to create a one off network diagram for my records of a clients topology, I wouldn't mind paying but most want a monthly commitment and I will only use this once (right now).

Thanks..

Why are you looking for something specialized? You can use powerpoint which has a boatload of customized icons.

Download globally recognized Cisco icons in a variety of formats for use in PowerPoint, white-papers, marketing collateral, and Visio diagrams.

Personally I just use Preview in macOS

I guess you're just using the markup tools there?

Yep. Makes life so easy. I can write something up putting in space as needed, print to PDF then just mark it up. Has all the basic shapes, including lines with arrow heads, as well as colors and line widths. It's not fancy like all that Cisco, etc stuff. But I'm not getting paid to be a graphic artist.

Check out Network Notepad and the NNMonitor for discovery. http://www.networknotepad.com/index.shtml

MS Visio is suited for this...

Solarwinds has their Network Topology Mapper on a 14-day trial and it does discovery: https://www.solarwinds.com/network-...EN_0_X-NTM-20200910_BestNetworkDiag_X_X_X_X-X

I was hoping to make a basic electrical plan diagram for my existing home. Doesn't have to be super precise or accurate. I just want to have a nice map of all the circuits with their outlets and lights, etc. I have Microsoft 365 Standard sub. I've been on the web version of Visio, but I don't see any electrical type templates or anything related on first glance.

Trying to follow this https://support.microsoft.com/en-us...com-plan-5430cb52-551e-483b-b777-30ba2f772f91

But it doesn't match up.

Can I do basic electrical diagrams with my Microsoft 365 Standard subscription?
