Understand your entire network layout at a glance with network mapping features
Clean network topology visualization
Auvik’s network diagram eliminates clutter. It aggregates device stacks and focuses on showing only the key physical topology. One-click drill-downs reveal hidden logical objects, and you can also expand condensed sections. With your complex multisite networks simplified, troubleshooting is seamless, faster, and easier.
Real-time network issue identification
Auvik’s real-time alert overlay spots problems as they arise across your networks. The system flags your active alerts on affected devices the moment they trigger. A quick click on your device dashboard shows full details, including fault locations and likely causes. Now you and your team can pinpoint and contain issues before they interrupt users.
Advanced network mapping
Auvik’s intelligent network mapping neatly groups your interrelated devices together. The platform identifies Layer 1 physical topology and Layer 2 and 3 connections, and its customizable filters help declutter maps for different audiences. By displaying the network graphically as the equipment sees it, your team is empowered to troubleshoot faster.
Automated network discovery
Auvik discovers your entire network topology using protocols like SNMP, CDP, and LLDP. It constructs rich, multi-layer diagrams mapping device interconnections on all levels. Full inventory details are also auto-documented for each device. Say goodbye to manual network mapping for good.
Enhanced network visibility
Auvik’s enhanced multi-layer visibility gives your team full control over network operations. It traces complete paths from devices to the internet and links codes by status. Toggle between physical, VLAN, and clustered topology views to expose different details. Or drill down into any device’s monitoring dashboard for additional insights.
For MSPs
Auvik empowers MSPs with a centralized map to visualize and troubleshoot all client networks. Quickly identify and resolve issues at both network and device levels with a bird’s-eye view. Remote access through the map eliminates the need for onsite visits, saving time and effort.
Centralized network documentation streamlines inventory management across clients, reducing overhead and improving efficiency. Consolidated topology and alert visibility enable your team to deliver exceptional service while saving time.
For Corporate IT teams
Auvik’s network mapping offers an intuitive overview of your entire corporate network, simplifying connectivity issue detection and root cause analysis across locations. IT teams can visually troubleshoot problems faster without requiring physical access.
Automated documentation ensures up-to-date network diagrams, while search tools make it easy to locate devices across distributed networks. With comprehensive visibility, IT teams can improve response times and proactively address potential issues.

Network mapping software FAQs
What is network mapping?
Network mapping is the process of discovering all devices on a network and visually diagramming how they connect to each other and external services to provide an accurate picture of the network. It documents the physical and logical layout of connections and relationships between network components. Auvik’s network mapping tools gather this data, analyze it, and display it on automatically updating maps and topology diagrams.
How does network mapping work?
Network mapping works by using specialized tools and protocols to scan networks, identify devices, pull information like IP addresses and MAC addresses, and determine device relationships and traffic flows. This raw data is then analyzed and processed to construct layered maps, which in turn show the logical and physical layout of networks down to port-level details. Auvik’s maps auto-update as the network changes so documentation always remains current.
Why is network mapping important?
Network mapping is important because it provides a visual reference for troubleshooting connectivity issues, identifying security risks, planning changes, onboarding new team members, and maintaining updated documentation. Without an accurate map, it is impossible for administrators to fully understand and manage complex modern networks.
What is a network mapping tool?
A network mapping tool is a specialized application that automates the process of discovering devices on networks, gathering detailed data about their configurations and connections, and visualizing this information on dynamic maps and topology diagrams. Auvik’s tools provide inventory details, monitor device health, analyze traffic, and integrate with other systems.
How does network mapping software work?
Network mapping software works by leveraging standard protocols like SNMP, CDP, LLDP, ARP tables, routing tables, VLAN data, and more to scan networks and pull configuration details. It processes this device and traffic flow data to construct layered topology maps showing physical and logical interconnections down to individual ports. Auvik’s maps update automatically as device connections and statuses change.
How does network mapping help with network management?
Network mapping helps network management by enabling administrators to visualize the overall network architecture, see the status of devices and links between them, identify risks and bottlenecks, plan changes more effectively, speed up troubleshooting, maintain updated documentation, and give context to other monitoring data.
Why does it matter that my maps are updated in real time?
Real-time updating is crucial for network maps because network configurations and connections change frequently. Outdated maps lead to confusion, incorrect troubleshooting, poor decision-making, documentation drift, and unexpected outages or security issues. Auvik’s maps automatically refresh as changes occur, ensuring documentation aligns with reality.
