Dear all,

I'm in charge of the design of a large LAN environment consisting of 700 
LANs and 3000 switches.

I'm looking for a tool that allows my team and me to store central 
documentation in the first step for the design, then for the operations. 
This tool should be able to:

- Manage VLANs
- Manage IP subnets configured in the switches
- Manage IP addresses configured in the switches (allocation done by 
another tool)
- Manage port usage of the switches (what is connected to the switch)
- Generate work orders/config templates
- Calculate power request
- Calculate air conditionning requirment

The tool don't need to be graphical and don't need to scan the network 
equipment.

Does anyone have an idea about a products that could fulfil partly or 
completely my needs ?

I do apreciate your support and thank you for you help.

Best regards, Guy Corbaz
