facilities:
Auto-discovery of LAN policies (such as VLAN, Layer 2 Priority and Differentiated services (Diffserv)
settings) enabling plug and play networking.
Device location discovery allows creation of location databases and, in the case of Voice over
Internet Protocol (VoIP), Enhanced 911 services.
Extended and automated power management of Power over Ethernet (PoE) end points is
provided.
Inventory management, allowing network administrators to track their network devices, and
