Abstract: A method for identifying devices on a network, comprising: determining, by a discovery application, a prioritized discovery plan including a plurality of tiers of requests, each of the tiers specifying one or more probes for targeting specific types of devices. For each of the tiers in the prioritized discovery plan: the method further comprises causing, by the discovery application, one or more of the probes specified for the tier to transmit targeted requests to a set of active addresses on the network. Upon receiving responses from at least a subset of the one or more addresses, the method comprises identifying, by the discovery application, one or more devices connected to the network based on the responses to the targeted requests. The method further comprises removing, by the discovery application, addresses corresponding to the identified one or more devices from the set of active addresses on the network.

Abstract: A process for management of Internet-of-Things (IoT) devices includes a management system for identifying, interrogating, and updating devices connected to one or more networks. The management system can include a data store for storing various data related to the devices and the various processes of the management system. The management system can include a controller for executing processes such as interrogation processes, firmware change processes, credential change processes, and other processes. The controller can determine versions of firmware and other configuration properties of a device and generate various profiles for updating the firmware and other configuration properties. The controller can determine upgrade paths for updating the firmware and other configuration properties from a first version to a second version, the upgrade paths including one or more intermediary versions for facilitating the upgrade path.
