Network scanner and including ethernet switches in to Engineer

I was wondering if it would be possible to integrate a network scanner for the topography of the network in to Engineer. The likes as we have it in PCWorx.

Also would it be an idea to include the FL Switches in to Engineer to better include those in projects. There is the option to import the GSDML's for the switches but in PCWorx those have been included in the hardware by default.

    Here is some feedback from the Product Manager:

    "The intention was that this feature is fully supported by the tool FL Network Manager, and in future we will see additional features also in PLCnext Engineer.

    One feature we are working on is the possibility to scan the network to show the topology."
