Abstract
A network management application (NMA) obtains identification information identifying a network device. The NMA searches a storage area for a directory corresponding to the identification information. When the NMA locates the directory corresponding to the identification information, the NMA searches the directory for a file containing descriptions of the attributes of the network device. When the NMA locates the file containing the attribute descriptions, the NMA generates an image of the network device in accordance with the attribute descriptions.
