An efficient asset survey tool is disclosed. For networks having 3,000 nodes, equipment and configuration information may be collected in a few hours, even with no previous information collection. Certain implementations exploit services available at the nodes including TCP/IP related applications and remotely executable configuration information commands. The asset survey tool may be operated as a stand-alone tool or as an automatically invoked component of a more complete asset database management system. In a preferred embodiment, the asset survey tool operates non-intrusively with no need for installation of special software at surveyed systems.
