  • Methods, systems, and computer readable media for management of passive network taps using radio frequency identification (RFID)
    Patent number: 10165390
    Abstract: According to one system, the system includes a chassis defining an enclosure and containing one or more slots. The system further includes a radio frequency identification (RFID) reader module comprising at least one processor and one or more RFID readers located within the enclosure, wherein the one or more RFID readers are configured to read data stored in RFID tags associated with one or more unpowered network taps. The RFID reader module is configured to receive, from a first RFID reader associated with a first slot of the chassis, information regarding a first unpowered network tap in the first slot, to determine, using a known location of the first RFID reader, a slot identifier associated with the first unpowered network tap, wherein the slot identifier indicates that the first unpowered network tap is in the first slot, and to provide the information and the slot identifier to a management system.
