Apparatus and method for network device information collection and change
detection. An apparatus may include a reporting module hosted on a PC
connected to a network. The reporting module may query an intelligent
network infrastructure device (i.e. switch, router, hub, etc.) to obtain
end point connection information corresponding to the PC. The apparatus
may also include a correlation module to associate the end point
connection information to a location identifier corresponding to the
physical location at which the PC is actually installed. The reporting
module may transmit the end point connection information to a central
database.
