An apparatus for providing passive automated provisioning may include an address monitoring element and an address provisioning element in communication with the address monitoring element. The address monitoring element may be configured to issue a first query for a device assigned to a monitoring address. The address provisioning element may be configured to assume or maintain a passive address, different than the monitoring address, if another device responds to the first query and to invoke an address replacement routine if no other device responds to the first query.
