Understand your entire network layout at a glance with network mapping features
Clean network topology visualization
Auvik’s network diagram eliminates clutter, aggregates device stacks, and retains key physical topology only. One-click drill-downs reveal hidden logical objects and expand condensed sections. With your complex multisite networks simplified, troubleshooting is now seamless and fast.
Real-time network issue identification
Spot problems as they arise across your networks automatically with Auvik’s real-time alert overlay. Your active alerts are flagged on affected devices the moment they trigger. A quick click on the device dashboard provides you and your team with full details, including fault locations and likely causes, so that you can rapidly pinpoint and contain issues before they interrupt users.
Advanced network mapping
See your interrelated devices positioned neatly together via our intelligent network mapping, which discovers Layer 1 physical topology plus Layer 2 and 3 connections. You can also apply customizable filters to 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
Say goodbye to manual network mapping for good. Auvik automatically 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.
Enhanced network visibility
Auvik’s enhanced multi-layer visibility gives your team the total visibility needed to optimize network ops. It traces complete paths from devices to the internet, coding links by status. You can instantly toggle between physical, VLAN, and clustered topology views to expose different details and drill down into any device’s monitoring dashboard for additional insights.
For MSPs
Auvik makes it easy for MSPs to visualize and troubleshoot issues across all their client networks from one central map. Quickly identify and investigate issues on networks and specific devices with a bird’s eye view that makes network insight easy. Plus, the ability to remotely access devices through the map eliminates the need for onsite visits to troubleshoot client issues.
When your network documentation across clients is centralized via Auvik, your MSP team can save significant time previously spent managing inventory for each client network separately. With network topology and alert visibility also consolidated across clients, you can reduce overhead, all while providing even better service to your clients.
For Corporate IT teams
Auvik’s network mapping provides an easy-to-navigate overview of the entire corporate network, making it easy to identify connectivity issues and their root causes across locations. Our network mapping software enables IT teams like yours to visually troubleshoot problems faster instead of needing physical access to diagnose issues.
Automated documentation across the global infrastructure eliminates manual effort to keep network diagrams updated, while search makes locating devices across a large, distributed network simple and fast. With complete network visibility and documentation, IT teams can improve response times and proactively identify potential problems.

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.
