mediawiki set up for individual user accounts, https only access, in internal tool IP space/ACL/firewalled. First develop a hierarcically organized 'blank' template you can copy and paste for each POP, and then fill it out. Works great for large scale fiber patch panel assignments/crossconnect tracking, listings of equipment in a POP, MPLS XCs, etc. It only works properly if the persons making each OSI layer 1 change edit the wiki after each change (or the NOC/neteng staff directing the field technicians edit it at the same time as updating a work ticket). One of the great advantages is that it's near infinitely flexible in how you can lay out and arrange the page, and tracks each and every change made by ever user. In case of a mistake it's easy to revert to an earlier version. I am not so sure about its use for OSP fiber tracking which gets into the territory of GIS software and customized vector based diagramming software.

Dear Nanog community We are looking for a network inventory software to document logical circuits and fibers. We have been using Racktables for cross connects and racks documentation and works great, but we did find a way to document MPLS, Eline/ELAN, OTN, SONET, IP circuits, external plant (fibers), etc. I would appreciate if you can share what you use for documentation. Thank you and have a great day Regards
