Tool for mapping entire network

Hi all,

I am looking for a tool which can do the following things:

- Create a dynamic network map of the network (Layer 2 & Layer 3)

- look up and read/calculate routing maps

- Maybe calculate STP conditions and states

- The visio that I have made for the layer 2 connections have become quite large and an interactive/gui like replacement could help in eliminating in some of the tedious work now required when using visio.

The reason why I am asking this is because I am now managing a network where there has been little documentation on the flows of the layer 3 networking. Layer 2 I have figured out by myself but for the future I would like to have a tool/database of all the connections in the network. I would like to be able to use this data for automating a lot of work that is still being done by hand.
