Claim 2:
3. The networked device configuration identifying method as claimed in claim 1, further comprising one of:
implementing an initial all device address resolution step, to acquire all the plurality of addresses for all the plurality of powered devices connected to the plurality of communication ports by executing the smart address resolution protocol through all the plurality of communication ports on the power sourcing device;
implementing a background device address resolution step, to switch off an interested communication port out of from all the plurality of communication ports, so to acquire all the at least one background addresses for all the at least one background powered device connected to the plurality of communication ports except the interested communication port by executing the smart address resolution protocol through all the plurality of communication ports;
implementing an interested device address resolution step, to compare all the plurality of addresses for all the plurality of powered devices with all the at least one background addresses for all the at least one background powered device, to acquire all the at least one interested address for all the at least one interested powered device;
implementing an interested powered device time tick resolution step, to switch on the interested communication port, so to acquire at least one time tick for all the at least one interested powered device connected to the interested communication port after rebooting by executing a smart network management protocol through the interested communication port;
implementing a device sequence of serial connection resolution step, to arrange all the at least one interested powered device connected to the interested communication port in series from the closest one closest to the interested communication port to the farthest one according to an order of from high to low of the values of the at least one time tick, so to acquire at least one sequence of serial connection on the interested communication port for all the at least one interested powered device;
implementing an all communication port cyclic scanning step, to cyclically perform the background device address resolution step to the sequence of serial connection on the interested communication port for the interested powered device resolution step until all the plurality of communication ports are scanned, so to acquire all the at least one sequence of serial connection and all the plurality of addresses for all the plurality of powered devices connected to all the plurality of communication ports; and
implementing a local area network topology resolution step, to organize a network topology and a configuration thereof in a tree structure among all the plurality of powered devices connected to all the plurality of communication ports and label the identified addresses in proximity to the corresponding powered device according to the acquired all the at least one sequence of serial connection for all the plurality of powered devices connected to all the plurality of communication ports based on the power sourcing device as a center node.
