Bug#721050: RFP: jnetmap -- jNetMap helps you to keep an eye on you network. You can draw a graphical representation of your network, and jNetMap will periodically check if the devices are still up or a service is still running. You can also set up E-mail notifications or let jNetMap execute a script when a device goes down or comes up again. Additionally, you may attach notes to a device, initiate an RDP/VNC/SSH connection to a device and much more.

  Description     : jNetMap is a network planner and scanner with nice graphical output.

jNetMap helps you to keep an eye on you network. You can draw a graphical representation of your network, and jNetMap will periodically check if the devices are still up or a service is still running. You can also set up E-mail notifications or let jNetMap execute a script when a device goes down or comes up again. Additionally, you may attach notes to a device, initiate an RDP/VNC/SSH connection to a device and much more.

It is very useful for forensic purposes, when you want to explore a network, you do know nothing about it. As a result you get a graphical infrastructure of the network with all hosts and its relationships shown. 

There is also an portscanner integrated.

On the other hand it is also useful, when you plan a network or want to document a known network.

Best regards
