Abstract: Network topology information may be determined for a plurality of network devices on a network. System identifier information may then be determined for each of the plurality of network devices on the network. The system identifier information may be a list of network solutions that each network device actually or potentially belongs to. The system may then flag the system identifier information to indicate whether each solution is an actual or a potential solution.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for identifying operating hybrid solutions is provided. An operating hybrid solution includes a combination of hardware and software components operating together for a particular purpose, such as to provide particular functionality. In various embodiments, mappings are stored to associate operating hybrid solutions with operating criteria that describe devices when the devices are operating according to the operating hybrid solutions. During operation of a device, a monitoring process uses the mappings to determine whether the device is operating as part of an operating hybrid solution. The monitoring process stores an indication of whether the device is operating as part of the operating hybrid solution, and the indication may be provided in response to a request for operating hybrid solution information associated with the device.
