 - Network view with ethernet labels to make physical and logical links easy to read.
 - Non-network view for host-first inventory and service mapping.
+- Rack view: managed racks with U positions and heights, side-by-side shelf items, and click-through to the editor.
+- Node search that highlights matches by name, IP, role or OS and dims everything else.
+- IPAM panel: per-subnet utilization, duplicate-IP conflict detection, and next-free-IP suggestions when adding machines, devices or VMs.
+- Subnet and VLAN declarations, with nodes colour-coded by VLAN and a clickable legend filter.
+- Cable tracking on connections (type, colour, length) with colour-coded links and hover details.
 - Expandable VM lists per machine for quick virtualization visibility.
-- Modal editor for machines/devices with live diagram updates.
+- Modal editor for machines/devices with live diagram updates, notes and MAC address fields.
 - JSON-backed persistence with autosave in self-hosted mode.
 - Docker-first deployment with writable data volume support.
 - Optional read-only mode for public demos and safe sharing.

 ## Why Home Lab Users Use It
 
 - Keep an always-up-to-date map of machines, VMs, and devices.
+- Find a free IP and spot duplicate assignments without a spreadsheet.
+- Know exactly what's in your rack and where, down to the U.
 - Edit quickly through a modal UI instead of hand-editing large diagrams.
 - Persist everything to JSON so backups and Git workflows stay simple.
 - Stay fully self-hosted with no runtime dependency on external APIs.

+Notes on the optional fields:
+
+- `subnets` powers the IPAM panel and VLAN colouring (`vlanId` is optional per subnet).
+- `racks` declares rack names and total units for the rack view; machines/devices opt in with a `rack` placement (`unit` is the bottom U, `heightU` defaults to 1). Items with the identical U range render side by side as shelf-mates.
+- `cable` on a `connectedTo` records type/colour/length and is kept identical on both ends automatically.
+- `notes` (machines and devices) and `macAddress` (ports and VMs) are free text.
