PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a mechanism for acquiring communication terminal information, even concerning a non-LLDP-compliant communication terminal. SOLUTION: A relay apparatus makes inquiries to a product server arranged on the outside of a LAN about a learned MAC address when learning the MAC address of the connected communication terminal. When the MAC address inquired from the relay apparatus is found in the database of a self server, the product server returns the communication terminal information corresponding to the MAC address to the relay apparatus of an inquiry source. The relay apparatus registers the communication terminal information in an extended MAC address table. COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT |
