1. A computer system comprising:
memory; and
one or more processors configured to:
obtain, from a network device, a plurality of information of network traffic on each port of a plurality of ports of the network device during one or more measurement periods;
determine, for each port of the plurality of ports of the network device, an indicator of a port type that corresponds to a type of network traffic carried by the port based on the plurality of information of network traffic on the port for the one or more measurement periods, wherein the port type indicates a type of connection to a type of device with which the port of the network device exchanges network traffic; and
provide the indicator of the port type for at least the port to a second computer system to enable configuration of the port of the network device in accordance with the port type for the port.
