Visual representation of network-discovered components
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- identifying, by a processing device, a media access control (MAC) address associated with a first server, the MAC address comprising a vendor identifier comprising a first hexadecimal value and a server identifier;
converting the first hexadecimal value of the vendor identifier to a first decimal value;
mapping the first decimal value of the vendor identifier of the MAC address to a corresponding first value on a red, blue, green (RGB) scale to determine a first color;
determining a second color in view of the server identifier;
determining a first shape in view of the vendor identifier and a second shape in view of the server identifier;
generating a shape-based icon comprising the first shape having the first color and the second shape having the second color; and
providing a user interface to display the shape-based icon that visually represents the first server.

Abstract
Systems and methods to generate and provide a user interface to display a shape-based icon that visually represents a server in a user interface. An example method may include identifying a media access control (MAC) address associated with a server, the MAC address including a vendor identifier and a server identifier; determining a first color in view of the vendor identifier and a second color in view of the server identifier; determining a first shape in view of the vendor identifier and a second shape in view of the server identifier; generating a shape-based icon comprising the first shape having the first color and the second shape having the second color; and providing the user interface to display the shape-based icon that visually represents the server.

15. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium comprising executable instructions that, when executed by a processing device, cause the processing device to:
-
determine, by the processing device, a primary network interface controller (NIC) card of a plurality of NIC cards of a first server; identify, by the processing device, a media access control (MAC) address associated with the primary NIC card of the first server, the MAC address comprising a vendor identifier comprising a first hexadecimal value and a server identifier; convert the first hexadecimal value of the vendor identifier to a first decimal value; map the first decimal value of the vendor identifier of the MAC address to a corresponding first value on a red, blue, green (RGB) scale to determine a first color; determine a second color in view of the server identifier determine a first shape in view of the vendor identifier and a second shape in view of the server identifier; generate a shape-based icon comprising the first shape having the first color and the second shape having the second color; and provide a user interface to display the shape-based icon that visually represents the first server. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
