Abstract
In one embodiment, an addressing agent determines a logical static IP addressing scheme for a computer network, the addressing scheme shared with an application server and defining a static mapping of IP addresses to particular types of application-based devices that are managed by the application server in particular physical locations within the computer network. The addressing agent determines a topology of the computer network indicative of application-based devices, their type, and their physical location. The addressing agent calculates a dynamic IP address for the devices based on their type and physical location as defined by the addressing scheme, and collaboratively assigns their corresponding calculated dynamic IP address. The application server can thus manage application-based devices according to whichever device of a particular type is in a particular physical location based on the addressing scheme, regardless of which particular application-based device of that particular type is in that particular physical location.
