IP ADDRESS DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM, SWITCH APPARATUS AND IP ADDRESS DISTRIBUTION METHOD

摘要

The present invention provides an IP address distribution system including a network that is formed by a switch (2) and an IP address distribution apparatus (1) that is connected to the network. When receiving a signal including a distribution IP address, which is an IP address to be distributed to an apparatus (3) that requests the IP address by the IP address distribution apparatus (1), the switch (2) rewrites one part or entire of the distribution IP address included in the received signal to a value corresponding to a port that relays the signal.
