Netbox - Documentation of modern networks

Network

Leading solution for modelling and documenting modern networks. By combining traditional systems such as IP Address Management (IPAM) and Data Centre Infrastructure Management (DCIM) with powerful APIs and extensions, NetBox offers the ideal "source of truth" for network automation.

NetBox has a fully-fledged REST API and a GraphQL API for easy integration with other tools and systems.

Below you can see some screenshots of Netbox in use. We can also create your own skin or extend an existing skin to make Netbox look exactly the way you want it.

  • Hierarchical regions, location groups, locations and sites
  • Racks, devices and device components
  • Cable and wireless connections
  • Power distribution
  • Data lines and providers
