摘要： Method and system for automatically identifying the physical location and/or end-to-end connectivity of end-devices, each of which having a unique ID and, normally, being connected to an access point of a network, each access point having a known physical location and being connected to a port of a Switch. Whenever required, the physical location of each end-device is updated.

摘要： Method and system for automatically identifying the physical location and/or end-to-end connectivity of end-devices, each of which having a unique ID and, normally, being connected to an access point of a network, each access point having a known physical location and being connected to a port of a Switch. A first data that represents the relation between the unique ID of each end-device (that is connected to a corresponding port in the Switch) and the port, is stored in a storage means. A first set of separate contacts, capable of being represented, whenever desired, by switch ports, and a second set of separate contacts, capable of being represented, whenever desired, by access points, the first and second sets are capable of being cross-connected by corresponding data cords, are provided, for allowing changes in connecting end-devices to ports of the switch. Whenever desired, ports of the switch are connected to contacts of the first set and access points are connected to contacts of the second set. Predetermined contacts of the first and second sets are cross connected, and a second data, being the cross-connection data and representing the current cross-connection status between the sets and relating ports of the switch to corresponding access points, is obtained and stored. A Connectivity Table (CT), containing a third data that represents the end-to-end connectivity of each end-device that is connected to one of the access points, is generated, by utilizing the first and second data. Whenever required, the physical location of each end-device obtained by using the third data is updated according to changes in the first and/or in the second data.
