Creating a visual Map of a network?

I am being tasked to map a network. In the past I have used nmap to find the systems on the local LAN and remote LANs (same enterprise).

This time I want to create a visual map of the LAN. With cheops, I reasonably good results but cannot be documented for managers with certainty. What are some good tools now that will create visual maps of the networks?

What is the best way to map a network when ICMP echo has been turned off?

Thank you in advance for any help.

I've had success using Scapy (http://www.secdev.org/projects/scapy/) and
tying it into Graphviz. It can do TCP traces too and has all sorts of
built in visualisation options.

And look at the bottom here http://www.secdev.org/projects/scapy/demo.html

Hello Subba ,

   nmap can do this now , so I've been told .

What is the best way to map a network when ICMP echo has been turned off?
Thank you in advance for any help.
