Methods and systems for verifying that devices in a network are properly connected physically are described. A listing is received from a device in the network. The listing identifies other devices coupled to the device and also identifies which communication port of the device each of the other devices is coupled to. The listing is compared against reference information representing the design of the network. Discrepancies between the listing and the reference information are identified.

Verification of connections between devices in a network

A method and system for verifying network device power cabling configuration. Specifically, in one embodiment, the method begins by reading a map that outlines designed cabling information. The cabling information describes how power from a plurality of power sources is applied over a plurality of cables to a plurality of computing resources in a network. A power test sequence is then performed independently on each of the plurality of computing resources to verify the cabling information. During the test sequence for each of the plurality of computing resources, power is applied continuously. Thereafter, a report is generated that details results from performance of the power test sequence on each of the plurality of computing resources.
