I thought I would share a very useful open source network management
application that we use called NeDi. You can read about NeDi at:
http://nedi.sourceforge.net/ (Home Page)
http://s11.invisionfree.com/Nedi/index.php (NeDi Forum)
You can quickly and easily test a virtual appliance of NeDi at:
http://www.vmware.com/vmtn/appliances/directory/184
(The virtual appliance requires you to install VMware player, which is
free)
http://www.vmware.com/products/player/
NeDi Features:

* Automatically discovers Cisco network devices and learns how they
connect to each other (network topology)
Beautiful Web-Interface

Device Management

* Make bulk configuration changes to many devices at once
* Archive device configurations and report configuration changes
Reporting

* Show which IP addresses are being used, and which ones are available
* Report by device name, type, serial number, software version, vlans,
and much more!
Monitor Performance
