In one embodiment, a method includes detecting a presence of a first endpoint on a port, and determining when the first endpoint is of a first type after detecting the presence of the first endpoint on the port. The port is associated with a switch that is part of a network and has a fixed address. The switch is arranged to support the first type. The method also includes mapping the first endpoint to the fixed address when it is determined that the endpoint is of the first type, wherein mapping the endpoint to the fixed address includes identifying the first endpoint by the fixed address within the network.
