<p>A management apparatus stores attribute/protocol management information denoting each attribute/protocol relationship (the corresponding relationship between a communication apparatus attribute and a management protocol that is inferred to be optimum for the communication apparatus that has this communication apparatus attribute). The management apparatus, for each of multiple addresses prior to inputting the credential used to detect the communication apparatus, (A) issues a query that specifies an address, (B) upon receiving a response to this query from the communication apparatus at the address specified in this query, writes, to a storage resource, query result information denoting the corresponding relationship between the address specified in this query and the communication apparatus attribute acquired based on the response, (C) identifies the management protocol corresponding to the communication apparatus attribute denoted by the query result information from the attribute/protocol management information, and (D) decides the optimum management protocol for the address based on the identified management protocol.</p> |
