title: More Fun With Graphs
|
|
---
|
|
I figured I'd post the latest graph magic from my work at Nucor-Yamato Steel.
|
|
This is a graph of the entire network, switches AND hosts!

<p class="centered">(click for full-sized version, warning: LARGE image)</p>
|
|
|
|
Here, the yellow boxes are center switches/routers, the green boxes are switches,
|
|
and the peach-colored nodes are hosts. Also, red lines are switch-to-switch
|
|
connections and blue lines are switch-to-host connections.
|
|
|
|
Another somewhat off-topic thing about these graphs is that the manager of IT at
|
|
Nucor-Yamato is interested in open-sourcing the code that manages all of the data
|
|
and generates these graphs, AND let me use company time to work on and manage the
|
|
project. If anyone knows of any open-source project (or software that doesn't cost
|
|
an arm and a leg) that already does network discovery, data collection, and automated
|
|
mapping then please let me know! If I'm not going to be re-inventing the wheel, then
|
|
I'll probably be kicking the project off shortly after I start working full-time in
|
|
June 2010.
