Abstract:
Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method and device for determining a physical position of an electronic device. The method comprises obtaining, at a power distribution unit (PDU) that provides power supply for the electronic device, a position identifier of a physical position of the PDU from a radio frequency (RF) tag reader. The method further comprises providing to a computing device the position identifier, a network address of the PDU and a network address of the electronic device associated with the network address of the PDU so that the computing device determines the physical position of the electronic device.
