Populating location wiremap databases

摘要

A method for populating location wiremap databases. In particular implementations, a method includes establishing a link layer connection with a client on a switch port, where the switch port is associated with a port identifier and is mapped to a location; identifying one or more connection attributes of the connection, where the connection attributes comprise a network layer address of the client; and transmitting the port identifier and the network layer address of the client to a location server.

1. Logic encoded in one or more non-transitory media for execution and when executed operable to:
establish a link layer connection at a switch with a client on a switch port, wherein the switch port is associated with a port identifier and is mapped to a physical location; identify one or more connection attributes of the link layer connection, wherein the connection attributes comprise a network layer address of the client; transmit the port identifier and the network layer address of the client to a location server; receive a physical location of the client at the switch from the location server; and provide the physical location received at the switch from the location server to the client.
