Network Notepad: A Hands-On Diagramming Tool for Network Design and Documentation
Network Notepad is a Windows application built for creating interactive network diagrams. It’s designed for network engineers who need a practical, visual way to map and document network infrastructure.
Using a simple drag-and-drop interface, you can place network elements like switches, routers, and servers, then connect them with labeled links. Devices in your diagram can be configured with clickable actions such as Ping, Telnet, SSH, and HTTP, making your diagrams not just visual references but functional tools.
The software supports multiple editions. The Freeware edition covers basic needs, while the Professional and Enterprise editions offer advanced features like multi-page diagrams, higher-quality graphics, linked diagrams, and team collaboration.
Whether you’re planning a new deployment or documenting an existing network, Network Notepad helps bring clarity to complex topologies in a format that’s easy to edit, share, and understand.
