A method and apparatus for tracking assets in a computer network. More specifically, a host identification device monitors address identification packets transmitted from host devices connected to the host identification device in a network. The host identification device then stores the physical and protocol addresses of the host devices as indicated in these packets. When receiving a request packet from another device, the host identification device transmits the stored physical and protocol addresses to the requesting device.
