Claim 15:
16. A non-transitory computer readable medium on which is stored machine readable instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to:
receive a first IP address using a discovery process for discovering network configuration information, the first IP address having a first attribute for a private IP address;
determine a type of the discovery process used for discovery of the network configuration information;
based on the determined type of the discovery process used for discovering the network configuration information, determine a second attribute of the received first IP address, the second attribute comprising a routing domain identifier for the received first IP address based on the determined type of the discovery process;
determine whether the received first IP address and a second IP address, which has a same IP address value as the first IP address, are duplicates of each other based on whether the routing domain identifier for the received first IP address matches a routing domain identifier for the second IP address; and
merge the received first IP address and the second IP address based on a determination that the received first IP address is a duplicate IP address of the second IP address.
