I was just looking to plug a new zigbee coordinator into a POE switch today, then thought - that's going to be on the wrong VLAN, or, did I trunk the uplink...?

So... that made me think - is anyone using / tried / failed to export device configs, feed it into an AI, and get it to draw out the network??

No, but also, this isn't remotely hard: even on enterprise networks.

If you need AI to literally draw lines between nodes and label those lines then you are desperately overcomplicating your setup? It's like using a caluclator for 13+25...
