ABSTRACT:
An RF ID tagging system provides information for managing a local area network (LAN). A plurality of first network elements and an inventory management tool are interconnected within the LAN. Predetermined management information is communicated from the first network elements to the inventory management tool via the LAN. A plurality of second network elements are maintained for coupling to the LAN, the second network elements not communicating the predetermined management information with the inventory management tool. Respective RF ID tags are mounted to each of the second network elements, wherein each of the RF ID tags wirelessly transmits a respective identifier. The respective identifiers are received in a wireless monitor. The received respective identifiers are associated with predetermined management information. Virtual device images are created in response to the predetermined management information. The virtual device images are transmitted to the inventory management tool via the LAN.
