A disclosed network apparatus is capable of being connected to one of a restricted area where a communication is restricted and a non-restricted area where a communication is not restricted via a DHCP server and a network based on a DHCP address assigned by the DHCP server. The network apparatus includes a communication unit configured to carry out communications including a broadcast communication and a multicast communication, and a reporting unit configured to generate a report containing apparatus own information of the network apparatus to be sent over the network. In network apparatus, when the network apparatus is connected to the non-restricted area based on the DHCP address, the communication unit sends the report containing the apparatus own information of the network apparatus via the broadcast communication in place of the multicast communication.
