A transport apparatus 100 stores therein setting information that indicates a group to which NEs belong. When an optical signal is received, the transport apparatus 100 determines, on the basis of the destination and setting information of the monitoring control information included in the received optical signal, whether the monitoring control information is to be terminated, sets the destination depending on the result of the determination, and then generates an ether frame including the monitoring control information. The transport apparatus 100 switches, using the Ethernet ® -frame transmission function, the transmission path of the generated frame and transfers the monitoring control information to the NEs. |
