Method of remote management in a network (2, 100), the network (2, 100) comprising a plurality of nodes to be managed by a remote controller and at least one agent device, the at least one agent device being in number lower than the plurality of nodes, wherein: - the at least one agent device makes initial contact with the remote controller in order to be authenticated by the remote controller and to establish a connection with the remote controller; - after the connection is established, the remote controller executes a discovery procedure through intermediation of the at least one agent device for discovering the plurality of nodes; - after executing the discovery procedure, the remote controller executes an identification procedure through intermediation of the at least one agent device for identifying the discovered nodes, including identification of at least one characterizing parameter selected from: model, vendor, manufacturer, software version, hardware version, firmware version, serial number and MAC address, wherein in the identification procedure the remote controller: a) selects a specific node from the discovered nodes; b) retrieves from a database of the remote controller comprising a plurality of connection procedures a specific connection procedure for connection to the specific node; c) uses the retrieved specific connection procedure for connecting to the specific node, through the intermediation of the at least one agent device, and for obtaining from the specific node said at least one characterizing parameter; - when the database does not include the specific connection procedure associated with the specific node, the identification procedure includes trying in sequence connection procedures of a sequence of connection procedures for connecting to the specific node till connection is successfully established and said at least one characterizing parameter is obtained from the specific node, the sequence of connection procedures being selected according to a predetermined selection criterion; - the database comprises a section comprising a plurality of managing procedures, each associated with a specific instance of said at least one characterizing parameter, and - the remote controller manages each of the discovered and identified nodes through intermediation of the at least one agent device, by retrieving from the database the managing procedures which are associated in the database with the instance corresponding to the at least one characterizing parameters, as obtained from the node by means of said identification procedure. - the at least one agent device makes initial contact with the remote controller in order to be authenticated by the remote controller and to establish a connection with the remote controller;
