I am being tasked to map a network.  In the past I have used nmap to find the systems on the local LAN and remote LANs 
(same enterprise).
This time I want to create a visual map of the LAN.  With cheops, I reasonably good results but cannot be documented 
for managers with certainty. What are some good tools now that will create visual maps of the networks?
        nmap can do this now ,  so I've been told .

What is the best way to map a network when ICMP echo has been turned off?
Thank you in advance for any help.
