Network device, network manager, network managing system, and method of performing clone process

摘要

A network device, a network manager, a network managing system, and a method of performing a clone process are provided, which can facilitate the determination of the progress of a clone process, reduce the load of a manager, and improve data transmission on a network. The network device includes a storage unit storing clone data and position information of a network manager, a control unit for performing a clone process on the basis of the clone data and generating status report data of the clone process that corresponds to the progress of the clone process, and a transmission unit for transmitting the generated status report data of the clone process to the network manager using the position information of the network manager.
