[geeks] documenting the environment

[Frank Van Damme]

Hi.

many of you are probably familiar with the topic of documentation. I
mean the process of documenting a network of IT environment, including
servers, routers/switches/firewalls, physical and virtual hardware, ip
addresses and ranges being used, ports occupied on network hardware,
SAN, physical locations etc.

There must be a dozen ways to do this, but I was wondering how people
cope with this problem in real life , and if some methods turn out to
work better than others. I am also dreaming of a method allowing me to
track changes to the documentation as the environment changes/expands.
