ABSTRACT:
A data processing system having a central processing unit for executing instructions stored in a memory, a plurality of peripheral ports at a plurality of physical locations, and a routing network for coupling the central processing unit to the peripheral ports. The routing network has a network storage device for storing information relating to the physical locations of the ports, and a controller responsive to a command for reporting such information. Peripherals used in the data processing system preferably have a peripheral storage device for storing information relating to characteristics of the peripherals and a peripheral controller responsive to a command for reporting such information.
