Abstract
The automatic classification of network devices in a network. Specifically, the disclosure entails the designation of network device roles to network devices, as well as the clustering of network devices into logical groups. The association of network devices with network device roles and logical groups may be contingent on the connections between the network devices and a set of network device classification heuristics.
