Abstract
There is provided a network comprising a network switch comprising a pre-configured routing table and a first physical port coupled to an endpoint sensor device initiated with an initial network address. One or more processors are coupled to a third physical port of the network switch and are configured to: transmit configuration data for the endpoint sensor device to the third physical port via a first virtual area network. The first virtual area network is associated by the pre-configured routing table with the first physical port and a second virtual area network is associated with a second physical port of the network switch. A command to the endpoint sensor to use a different network address is transmitted by the network switch via the first physical port based at least in part on receiving the configuration data.
