      I am looking for a program that will map my network and tell me what and where (what ports) the equipment is. The more detail I can get the better.

      Does anyone have any suggestions. I currently have LANSurveyor express which I have had for years but it is not really what I need.
      Free is better but low cost software would be ok also.

      Thanks for your input.

        Belarc is great but really expensive. Anyone know if SolarWinds or ManageEngine have something like this?

                There are physical map and logical maps.

                Usual suspects for the physical mapping task (& some repetition). Dia and The Dude are probably the more commonly used:

                • CADE from http://www.weresc.com
                • Cisco ConfigMaker, http://www.cisco.com/pcgi-bin/tablebuild.pl/configmaker
                • Dia, http://dia-installer.de
                • LanSurveyor, http://www.solarwinds.com/products/lansurveyor
                • Microsoft Active Directory Topology Diagrammer (ADTD), http://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/Active-Directory-Topology-3a334bba (visio addon)
                • Netdisco, http://www.netdisco.org
                • Network Notepad, http://www.networknotepad.com
                • Smartdraw, http://www.smartdraw.com

                  Have you looked at Spiceworks yet?

                  Also, if you have switches that support CDP, your ESXi hosts will tell you what they're plugged into.

                    He posted there first. This is for taking from client site to client site, not for a permanent setup which Spiceworks handles very poorly and is not designed around.

                      Fair enough. Spiceworks isn't very portable.
