How to export your UniFi network topology
The UniFi Network topology view is useful on screen, but it is not a deliverable. INFRAPacket uses your UniFi network data to generate a network topology and include it in a more complete, professional document, ready for a technical team or a client handover.

- VLAN networks

Can you export the UniFi topology?
UniFi Network provides a visual topology map of your network. When you need to turn that view into a deliverable, common approaches include printing the page, taking screenshots or using a dedicated third-party tool. If your goal is complete network documentation rather than a standalone topology image, INFRAPacket takes a different approach: it uses your UniFi network data to generate a structured topology as part of a complete network document.
Ways to export or document a UniFi topology
Print or screenshot the UniFi topology
Quick when you only need a copy of the view on screen. Upside: simplicity, with no extra tooling. Limits: manual framing and layout, hard to standardise from one site to the next, and the topology stays separate from the rest of your documentation.
Use a dedicated topology export tool
Some third-party or community tools can produce standalone diagrams or topologies, sometimes in several export formats. That can be enough when you only need an isolated diagram.
Generate complete UniFi network documentation
INFRAPacket combines the topology generated from your UniFi network data with the device inventory, available WAN information, networks and VLANs, WiFi networks, connected clients and other available data, in one consistent document ready for a technical team or a client handover.

- Regenerable documentation
From UniFi network data to client-ready documentation
The topology is one part of the document: it becomes far more useful next to the device inventory, networks, WiFi and available WAN information. The example below shows a complete INFRAPacket document.

When is a documented topology useful?
Client handover
Hand over a readable document that summarises the installed network, without requiring access to the UniFi console.
Network maintenance
Find the network structure, devices and links quickly before working on site.
Multi-site documentation
Document several sites in the same format, easier to compare and to maintain over time.
Network updates
Regenerate the documentation after a network change, without rebuilding the layout from scratch.
