It is desirable to be able to automatically map the topology of a computer network. To automatically map the topology of a computer network, a new method is proposed. First, all the network management modules (NMMs) in the network start off broadcasting multicast packets informing other units of their presence. When a network management module detects that only a single unit is connected to a particular slot-port combination, then that network management module designates the single unit as being a downstream unit in a network topology table. After updating its network topology table, the network management module sends a quench packet to the single unit to silence the downstream unit. These steps are repeated for all occurrences of a single unit connected to a particular slot-port combination in that network. After this occurs, the very bottom layer of the network has been detected and it's topology has been mapped. Since this bottom layer has been silenced by the quench packets, the bottom layer units will no longer be sending out the multicast packets. Thus, the next lowest layer can be detected by performing the same set of steps again. Specifically, any slot-pair combination that only has a single unit coupled to it is then marked as being a downstream and a quench message is sent to silence that unit. These steps are performed recursively until the entire network topology is detected.

A computer-implemented method and apparatus for determining a topology of a network. Signals are received from all source hubs in the network, wherein each of the signals contains connection information for the source hubs including destination hubs to which the source hubs are coupled, and a corresponding connection port on the source hubs through which the destination hubs are coupled. The connection information is processed by locating all unitary connections in the connection information and iteratively performing certain steps until there are no more unitary connections in the connection information. Subsequently, if the connection information is not empty and there are additional unitary connections in the connection information, then the foregoing steps are repeated until there are or more unitary connections or the processed connection information is empty. The resolved connection information is then stored for a complete topology. This above topology method and apparatus is also useful in circumstances where certain source hubs are non-responsive to requests for connection information, that is, they are either malfunctioning or are hubs of an unknown or unsupported type. The connection information may be further processed to determine such non-responsive hubs and insert references to unsupported devices in the processed connection information to show these non-responsive devices in the topology.
