A method for a network management apparatus configured to communicate with a peripheral device using a version of Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) that requires key information during communication includes acquiring device-specific information from the peripheral device, generating a plurality of key information candidates using the device-specific information before performing a communication based on SNMP, acquiring an SNMP engine identification (ID) for the peripheral device, determining whether the SNMP engine ID corresponds to the device-specific information, and, if it is determined that the SNMP engine ID corresponds to the device-specific information, storing the SNMP engine ID and performing a communication based on SNMP using key information corresponding to the device-specific information and selected from among the plurality of key information candidates. |
