Network Adapter Visualization

I was wondering if anyone has attempted or seen in the wild documentation for using BI to make visualizations of network closet adapters/switches. I currently use a spreadsheet to try and control the status of all the ports and which rooms they go to as well as their status, but I would love to take that data and push it into BI for complete visuals of the actual switches so that I can share with others. I could have sworn that I saw a video about this at one point, but I'm now unable to find anything related to it. Thanks in advance for any help.

Actually what I was thinking about was this video I had seen durring Ignite where PBI was used Visio to map data center usage. I'm pretty sure I can use this modeling to streamline network adapter setups. Thanks for your help though.

Hi @ZeroNine,

From your description, I suggest you use the Network Navigator Chart to meet your requirements, you could download the sample pbix to learn more information about it.
