Use circles for routers, rectangles for switches and so on. There are enough geometric stencils available.
Or ;)... Unless that you need runtime input, parse your configuration file repository, and build quite nice looking documents using TeX (plus, if you fancy nice graphics, pstricks, metapost, or pgf/TiKz). That's easy with a small few lines of perl (or your parsing language of choice). If you need run-time data, simply script it into the above mentioned "engine." The engineering way of lazily producing "marketing visual quality" documents... IMHO :) Cheers, mh
