ABSTRACT:
An approach for tracking IP telephony devices in a network generally involves detecting changes in physical connections of IP telephony devices to the network by evaluating address data for the IP telephony devices. Address data for the telephony devices is evaluated over time to detect changes that have occurred in physical connections. Status data is generated and provided to a network manager application that notifies administrative personnel of the changes. Other embodiments include verifying that a physical connection has changed after an initial detection by waiting a specified amount of time and then evaluating additional address data to determine whether the change still exists.
