NTM Getting Started Guide
Discover Network Topology Mapper (NTM), network mapping software designed to automatically discover and map your network. Using methods such as ICMP, SNMP, WMI, CDP, VMware, and Microsoft Hyper‑V, NTM scans your environment and generates detailed network diagrams, detects changes or new devices, and keeps topology maps up to date.
To get started with NTM, complete the following tasks.

Install NTM. Get the installer:
When you are ready, install NTM. |

Create a map. Scan and map your IT infrastructure: Create a new scan, rearrange objects or adjust discovered devices, and save the map. See Create a NTM map.   Watch this video: Automate Network Discovery and Mapping with SolarWinds Network Topology Mapper
Transcript In the Network Topology Scan wizard, you specify credentials, define IP addresses for the discovery, name the scan and change the scope, and schedule the discovery. When done, you can save the scan result as a map. |

Work with maps. Use the Map Navigator, show/hide neighbors, find more nodes, view and edit nodes and node details, view connection information, import/export maps, or find details on icons and labels. See Work with maps. |

Report on maps. Generate reports on switch ports, VLANs, subnets, and device inventory, and export the data. See Map reports. |
