Abstract

Example implementations described herein are directed to systems and methods for managing internet protocol (IP) address assignment to servers on rack(s) based on their physical locations within the rack(s). Through the example implementations, the physical location of a server within a data center rack can be determined based on the IP address. Example implementations can involve issuing a ping local to determine a plurality of servers; retrieving power on time, current system time, and operating system (OS) uptime for each of the plurality of servers; determining a power on order for the plurality of servers; determining physical locations of the plurality of servers within one or more racks based on installation instructions and power on order; and assigning IP addresses to the plurality of servers based on the physical locations.
