Automatic Network Map/Flow Chart

Back in the days of Pakedge BakPak we had a feature that allowed us to automatically scan the network to build a flowchart-style map of all the devices on it. I guess this worked based on connected client MACs per port and client lists on WAPs. This feature would be awesome to have on OvrC or at least on Araknis, as it would provide a very easy way to see a "point of failure" issue when many devices go offline at once, rather than spending a few minutes trying to guess or remember where devices are connected, which WAP they're on, etc., as well as just being an easy way to create documentation for existing systems without having gone through every port and MAC address manually.

at least let us see the MAC table for switches and routers

Ihiji also had this feature, and it even had such a map for IP power conditioners. which was cool. and when you clicked on a device, it would show you where its power is coming from, and its data.

Ubiquiti UniFi does a pretty good job of this...and even tells you what physical device MAC is plugged in to a particular port

Ah yes the good ol days of Bakpak. Loved this feature. Very handy when making a network map and not relying on where a tech "plugs" things in.
It just seems Snap bought Pakedge just for the IP and dumped all the good things. I mean we havent even had a security patch for that recent RK-1 vulnerability. In the old Pakedge days that would have been patched ASAP.
