Network management interface for heterogeneous data network and system using the same

摘要

An apparatus for managing network objects in a heterogeneous network, a network management system and a network management apparatus are provided. The apparatus includes processor that receives, using a first protocol communicated using a communications protocol, a network management request to manage a network object in the heterogeneous network, and that transmits, according to a second protocol that is different than the first protocol, the network management request to the network object network management interface is provided.

主权项

1. An apparatus comprising:
a central processing unit configured to receive a network management request for managing at least one of first and second network objects, the reception being performed by using a first protocol, the first protocol being used for managing a first network, the first network object being connected to a second network, the second network being different from the first network, the second network object being connected to a third network, the third network being different from the first network; and a memory which
associates a first identifier and a second protocol with each other and stores the first identifier and the second protocol, the first identifier identifying the first network object, the second protocol being used for managing the second network, the second protocol being used by the first network object, the second protocol being different from the first protocol, andassociates a second identifier and a third protocol with each other and stores the second identifier and the third protocol, the second identifier identifying the second network object, the third protocol being used for managing the third network, the third protocol being used by the second network object, the third protocol being different from the first protocol, wherein the central processing unit is configured to read, from the memory, at least one of the second and third protocols associated with the at least one of the first and second network objects managed by the network management request, and transmit the network management request to the at least one of the first and second network objects, the transmission being performed by using the at least one of the second and third protocols read from the memory.
