Abstract
A method for configuring identical network components wherein network components are each connected to a physical port of a network switch via a network cable. An additional network station is also connected to the network switch. Configuration messages are transmitted from the additional network station to the network components wherein the configuration message of each network component communicates the physical port of the network switch to which the network component is connected. The network component performs a reconfiguration of its function in the network corresponding to the connection to the physical port.
