Abstract
A system and method for determining the model information of a device. A mapping database that maps a plurality of network device identifiers of a set of devices to model information of the devices may be automatically created. A request to determine model information of an unknown based on a network device identifier of the unknown device may then be received. The database may be analyzed to determine the model information of the unknown device. For example, the model information of the unknown device may be determined by extrapolating it based on the network device identifier of the device and the database information.
