Hi Jared,

We had a discussion on the list about this a while back - probably worth
reviewing:
http://lists.ausnog.net/pipermail/ausnog/2011-September/011189.html

In the intervening time, I've rebuilt 90% of the core of a medium-sized
corporate network, and I have to say I would never use Visio, but would
instead use graphviz, either manually specified or automatically
generated from LLDP/CDP info and/or interface IPs/masks.  (I'd probably
try the latter if I was starting fresh.)

Regards,
Paul
