Integrated network element management system and method

摘要

An integrated network element management system includes a client computer ( 6 ) and a master network element ( 7 ). The client computer includes a user interface ( 61 ) and an application ( 62 ). Various network elements may be displayed on the user interface in the form of icons that can be dragged by a user. The application performs configuration on a specific network element selected by the user on the user interface. The master network element communicatively connects with the client computer and a plurality of network elements. The master network element includes a topology information module for collecting topology information via the Topology Discovery Protocol, and for storing the topology information and configuration files of the network elements. A related integrated network element management method is also provided.
