What's the best way to keep track of a network both physically as well as IPs, routes, per host firewall rules, etc? After a quick look netbox looks promising?
I'm at the point where using draw.io diagrams doesn't cut it anymore and I'll need to rework my entire network anyways since at this point I am handling three physical sites that are interconnected into one big LAN with semi connected WANs in two DCs where I have stuff colocated and all of this has grown organically over a few years which is to say it's completely FUBAR.
I literally cannot change anything about this eldritch horror without something going down and even just maintenance has become untenable. But since I want to do things right this time I am looking for a tool to plan the entire network before actually nuking everything.
