Abstract: A network system comprises a discovery subsystem that identifies, enables for consumption, and consumes information. The discovery subsystem isolates business contents and device-specific logic using modular domain-specific contents and data definitions for normalizing the domain-specific contents and describing attributes and value types that uniquely define domain content independently of a device.

Abstract: One embodiment disclosed relates to a method of configuring a network including multiple overlapping private address domains. A configuration file is created for each overlapping address domain (OAD). The configuration file includes an identifier for the OAD, a gateway address to the OAD, and mappings between private addresses in the OAD and corresponding management addresses. Another embodiment relates to a system for managing a network including multiple OADs. Another embodiment relates to a method of processing a trap from a network with multiple OADs. Another embodiment relates to a method of finding an active route across a static NAT device.
