Wow, lots of recent comments. Please note that while this is good, this pilot is not set up to forward these comments to the USPTO. According to P2P, only the materials and annotations under the Prior Art section are forwarded to USPTO. If you know matching prior art, please upload it in that area, and add relevance info for the specific related claims of this application.Fulton Wilcox (over 5 years ago)
Regarding Claim 00014 As noted above, there is a lot of prior art in the network asset management world, centered on MIBs that can do what is described and much more, depending on the managed device's function and level of intelligence. Fulton Wilcox (over 5 years ago)
Regarding Claim 00008Again, these are steps normally used to set up a DHCP IP address assignment proces. There are many tools to associate IP address and MAC and other address data - e.g., see http://manageengine.adventnet.com/products/oputils/address-monitoring-tools.html
As noted above, addresses assigned by DHCP can be made either very long lived or permanent.PEER TO PATENT ACTIVITY
