A network management system which is capable of easily identifying devices, and enhancing the operability of a device management application used by a manager. The network management system includes devices, and a server connected to the devices via a network. The server is configured to be capable of communicating with the devices by SNMPv1, SNMPv3 and SLP. When SNMPv1 can be used for a device, the server acquires device information from the device by SNMPv1. When SNMPv1 cannot be used but SNMPv3 can be used for a device, and an SNMPv3 password is registered, the server acquires device information from the device by SNMPv3. When SNMPv1 cannot be used but SNMPv3 can be used for a device, and a SNMPv3 password is not registered, the server acquires device information from the device by SLP. |
