Zusammenfassung:	Systems and methods for dynamically configuring a network switch for monitoring are disclosed. Embodiments may include receiving an IP address associated with a network switch. Embodiments may also include probing the network switch based, at least in part, on the received IP address to obtain first information regarding the network switch, wherein the first information includes at least one of a vendor of the network switch, a model of the network switch, and a firmware version of the network switch. Embodiments may further include configuring the processor to monitor the network switch based on processing of the first information.
