A management apparatus according to an embodiment includes a storing unit, a receiving unit, a transmitting unit, and an updating unit. The storing unit stores, in association with an IP address of a node, identification information for identifying the node. The receiving unit receives a change notification for the IP address transmitted by multicast by the node. The transmitting unit transmits, when the receiving unit receives the change notification, a response request packet by multicast. The update unit updates the storing unit on the basis of a response packet transmitted from a node that responds to the response request packet transmitted by the transmitting unit. |
