Abstract: Disclosed are various examples for Internet of Things (IoT) device discovery and configuration. In some embodiments, a management service generates a console user interface. Through the console user interface, an Internet-of-Things (IoT) protocol is selected for an IoT discovery campaign to discover IoT devices that are deployed in an enterprise environment and utilize the IoT protocol. A gateway distribution list is defined for the IoT discovery campaign. A command is transmitted according to the IoT discovery campaign, causing a gateway device to discover IoT devices that are deployed in the enterprise environment and utilize the IoT protocol.

Abstract: Disclosed are various examples of management service based device platform creation and device configuration. In some examples, user interactions with a platform creation portal user interface define a device platform that includes a platform ability, and an ability parameter that adjusts the platform ability. A device platform registry is updated to include the platform ability and the ability parameter. A device configuration request associated with the device platform is received. The device platform is transformed to generate a device management console with user interface elements that identify at least one user-defined argument for the at least one ability parameter.

Abstract: Disclosed are various examples for Internet of Things (IoT) device discovery and configuration. In some embodiments, an IoT template is generated based on IoT capabilities for an IoT type. An IoT device discovery command is transmitted from a management service to a gateway enrolled with the management service. The IoT device discovery command includes the IoT template and instructions for the respective gateway to transmit an IoT device discovery message using the IoT protocol. A list of IoT devices is received from the gateway. The list of IoT devices corresponds to the IoT protocol and the IoT type. An enrollment of an IoT device is performed. The enrollment includes transmitting an IoT device enrollment command that instructs the respective gateway to permit communication with the IoT device.

Abstract: A method, apparatus and computer-readable storage media are provided for determining, at a physical switch configured to interface with a plurality of physical servers via a plurality of corresponding physical ports of the physical switch, a number of virtual local area networks (VLANs) serviced by the plurality of physical servers, each of which is configured to service one or more virtual machines in one or more of the VLANs. A plurality of VLAN compression groups are automatically defined such that a port VLAN count of the physical switch is reduced, wherein the port VLAN count identifies a number of VLANs that interface with the physical switch via the plurality of physical ports. The one or more VLANs are automatically assigned to one of the VLAN compression groups.
