Abstract
According to one embodiment of the invention, a method for classifying devices in a wireless network includes discovering, by a managing device, devices in the wireless network in accordance with discovery parameters. The discovery parameters include a parameter indicative of an IP address range. The method also includes retrieving, by the managing device, classification parameters from the devices. The method further includes comparing, by the managing device, the classification parameters with classification rules. The method further includes storing a device profile for each of the devices with classification parameters satisfying the classification rules.
