ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for identifying internal occupants of a communications system apparatus with an Ethernet backplane and at least one internal occupant. The method comprising: verifying that a system switch processor (“SSP”) has been assigned an IP address; requesting a discovery protocol data package from the SSP; determining whether the package corresponds to at least one internal occupant; and if the package corresponds to the internal occupant, then discovering occupant information corresponding to the internal occupant. The apparatus comprising means for verifying that a system switch processor (“SSP”) has been assigned an IP address; means for requesting a discovery protocol data package from the SSP; means for determining whether the package corresponds to at least one internal occupant; and if the package corresponds to the internal occupant, then means for discovering occupant information corresponding to the internal occupant.
