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.
