Patent number: 8671184Abstract: A tool for managing a computer network includes a gateway service module that identifies a gateway for a network and a network information service module. The network information service module identifies devices in the network, determines at least one property for each of the identified devices, and creates a network information data structure for storing device properties. A communication agent service module transmits at least one determined device property to other agent service modules associated with the network, receives at least one device property from another agent service module associated with the network, and provides the received at least one property device to the network information service module. A method of monitoring a computer network is also provided.Type: GrantFiled: February 18, 2011Date of Patent: March 11, 2014Assignee: Pure Networks LLCInventors: Steven M. Bush, Thomas C. Butcher, Matthew Tebbs, Justin Ferrari, Brett Marl, Ron Gery, Kristin Acker, Joshua Hinds

Patent number: 7565418Abstract: A network device setup utility gathers network configuration information at a computing device, displays network-device-installation instructions; and configures the network device by sending the gathered network configuration information from the computing device to the network device. The gathered network configuration information may include a type of Internet connection, such as DHCP, static IP, dynamic PPPoE, or Static PPPoE. The gathered network configuration information includes an Internet Service Provider account name and password. The network-device-installation instructions may include a customizable graphical depiction of the network device and may provide ordered step-by-step instructions for connecting a network cable and a power cable to the network device. Configuring the network device, which may be a router, may include confirming Internet connectivity.Type: GrantFiled: July 14, 2006Date of Patent: July 21, 2009Assignee: Cisco Technology, Inc.Inventors: Justin Ferrari, Nick Holt, Ryan Peterson, Aaron Averbuch
