PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To solve such a problem that a CPU use rate of a terminal is increased (overload is caused) since also a useless broadcast packet is received in a terminal connected to one port of a switch when a plurality of VLANs are bundled and set to the port. SOLUTION: A management method is characterized in that transmitting side management of a VLAN in a communication repeater of a LAN is performed not in a conventional link-up timing but in a timing of first packet reception, and the management method is also characterized in that a packet is not positively transmitted from a switch side until receiving a packet from a terminal side. A plurality of VLANs are set to a terminal side physical port of the communication repeater, receiving state management of a port inside the communication repeater is not changed but kept as conventional and transmitting state management of the port in the communication repeater is changed. Broadcast main management all over the network is automatically performed on the switch side, thereby efficiently constructing the network. COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI
