Abstract
A method and system of determining a LAN bus segment hub topology is provided. Each of a plurality of hubs attached to a LAN bus segment is identified by a network management station, wherein each hub includes a plurality of identifiable ports. A connection table is generated in association with each of the plurality of hubs by the hub's agent, wherein the connection table associated with a selected hub lists all remaining hubs of the plurality of hubs and an identifiable port of the selected hub through which each remaining hub of the plurality of hubs communicates with the selected hub. Last, a single correlation table is generated from the generated connection tables by merging the associated connection tables for all identified hubs indicating whether each hub attached to the LAN bus segment has a direct or an indirect connection with every remaining hub of the plurality of hubs.
