A communication device to detect combinations of redundantizable network adapters from among a plurality of network adapters includes an acquiring unit for acquiring respective MAC addresses, a transmitting unit for setting a first network adapter included in the plurality of network adapters as a transmit source and the respective network adapters as transmit destinations and transmitting a probe packet from the transmit source to the transmit destinations at the layer 2 level using the MAC addresses, an extracting unit for extracting an second network adapter, that is, the network adapter which has received the probe packet from among the network adapters other than the first network adapter, and a detecting unit for detecting the first network adapter and the second network adapter as combinations of the redundantizable network adapters.
