1. A method of creating an Information Technology (IT)-network representation including automatically discoverable active elements and passive elements, comprising:

  • producing, by running a network auto-discovery tool, a logical discoverable-elements representation of the IT network which includes the automatically discoverable active elements and a discoverable-elements network topology;

    manually inserting, by a user by means of a network-element editor, representations of passive elements between automatically discovered elements into said discoverable-elements representation, thereby creating a combined logical representation which models the IT network with its automatically discoverable elements and passive elements, wherein the passive elements are not addressable by a network address and not automatically discoverable by running the network auto-discovery tool.
