You can create a static network diagram by dragging and dropping icons representing network devices to the map and linking them with proper lines. Unlike a
dynamic network diagram, you don’t need to build the underlying data model before you build a static diagram. Most network diagrams created by tools such as Visio are static. In addition to creating dynamic network diagrams, NetBrain can be used to create static network diagrams as well. A sample static NetBrain map is displayed below:

A static network diagram cannot update itself. After its creation, the software no longer knows the meaning of any icon or link. It is up to a human being to update the diagram manually.
There are a few other tools such as Opnet NetMapper or Solarwinds LAN Surveyor that can help you to create static network diagrams faster. However, the results produced by those tools are still static network diagrams since the diagrams are not supported by any data model. In other words, those diagrams cannot update themselves.
