<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain a packet exchange device which can comprehend whether a bypass module bypassing during the failure of the packet exchange device is a bypass state or a non-bypass state. <P>SOLUTION: The packet exchange device 1a configuring a network system judges that a bypass module 2b of a packet exchange device 1b is in a non-bypass state when a source MAC address of an adjoining device identifying packet from an adjoining packet exchange device 1b received from a packet transmitting/receiving portion 3a is the same as a source MAC address preliminarily recorded in a packet recording portion 8a. The packet exchange device judges that the bypass module 2b of the packet exchange device 1b is in a bypass state when the source MAC address of the adjoining device identifying packet received by the packet transmitting/receiving portion 3a is different from the source MAC address preliminarily recorded in the packet recording portion 8a. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT</p> |
