Zusammenfassung:	A system and method for presence-based site assignment of a device includes a step of detecting a presence of the device by a network-managed device having a known logical location, wherein the logical location of the device is not known. A next step includes reporting the presence of the detected device to a network manager by the network-managed device. A next step includes assigning the detected device to the same logical location as the first network-managed device by the network manager. Subsequently, a next step includes a second network-managed device detecting the presence of the device and then associating to the logical location of the device. As a result the logical location of devices is inferred by the co-presence of other device having a known logical location.
