Nmap as a network mapper

[mjanmart () student fundp ac be]

Hello,

I'm a student in computer science in the FUNDP in Belgium. I'm doing a  
project who monitors the network of a company and shows how much  
packet they exchange and how long they stay online. Its goal is to  
show that a lot of people keep their computer up when they're not at  
work and that it's not eco-friendly. Moreover, the company looses  
money because of that behaviour.

You're probably wondering why I tell you all that. I have also to make  
a map of the network of the company to "show" to a "non-computer  
scientist" a more simple interface like "computer always up are in  
red, computer always down are in green". I have a virtual lab and I  
really don't know if/how I can use nmap to map it. I saw Zenmap had an  
interface that could do such things but it doesn't work when I try to  
map my local network.

Have you got any hints or links you could send me explaining how a  
network mapping is performed?

I hope I did send this mail to the right address.

regards,

Max.
