1. A method of tracking fiber port availability in a fiber distribution hub, the method comprising:
responsive to a detection of a disconnection of a termination unit associated with the fiber distribution hub, the termination unit having an association with a first port of a plurality of candidate ports included in the fiber distribution hub prior to the disconnection, automatically updating, by one or more processors, a fiber distribution record representative of port availability in the fiber distribution hub such that the fiber distribution record is representative of the association between the termination unit and the first port;
generating, by the one or more processors and based on the detection of the disconnection of the termination unit, an indication of a second port of the plurality of candidate ports; and
transmitting, by the one or more processors, the indication of the second port to at least one of a computing device or a user interface.
