A method and system may send a first data packet on a network from a client node to a management server. The first data packet may be formatted to include a client Internet Protocol (IP) address field, a Universally Unique Identifier (UUID) request flag, a client UUID field, a client hardware address, and a first port number. The client node may listen for a second port number on the network and may receive a second data packet. The second data packet may have the same format as the first data packet and may include the second port number.
