Abstract: A system includes multiple devices in a storage area network (SAN). Each device includes at least one network port, at least one processor, and a management module. The management module is to receive announcements generated by ports included in an announcement group, where the ports are included in the other devices, and where each announcement includes port metadata for a particular port. The management module is also to determine, based on the announcements, a network mapping of the ports and the devices.
