A method carrying out connectivity monitoring of an entire network by: transmitting a CCM frame in which the transmission source is set to a multicast MAC address, from a higher level side (center side) terminating device to a plurality of lower level side (base point side) terminating devices; transmitting a CCM frame in which a unicast MAC address is set, from the lower level side terminating devices to the higher level side terminating device; transmitting a CCM frame in which a multicast MAC address is set, from a controller to the higher level side terminating device or the lower level side terminating devices; and transmitting a CCM frame in which a unicast MAC address is set, from the higher level side terminating device or the lower level side terminating devices to the controller. |
