Zusammenfassung:Methods, systems, and apparatus for providing network addresses are disclosed. In one aspect, a network element device in a telecommunication network includes a chassis coupled with a passive Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) device and a network line module coupled to the chassis. The passive RFID device stores a network node identifier that is used to communicate with a second network element device communicatively coupled with the network element device. The network line module includes a RFID reader that is configured to obtain the network node identifier from the passive RFID device when the network line module is initialized.
