<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a network management method and a network management system for managing a network with an independent address system of a plurality of points from a one place in a unified way and capable of managing it when addresses of management object apparatuses are in duplicate between the points. <P>SOLUTION: The network management system 1 manages an integration of a point ID for uniquely identifying points 2a, 2b and private IP addresses provided to communication apparatuses 211a,... or the like as a management apparatus address. In transmitting a packet to each of management object apparatuses 211a to 213b, the system 1 creates a SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) packet to which the management apparatus address is set, capsulates a transmission packet resulting from attaching a header to the SNMP packet by using a tunneling protocol, and transfers the result to the Internet, and gateways 22a, 22b decapsulate the capsulated packet to extract the original transmission packet so that the transmission packet can reach the management object apparatuses 211a,.... <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO</p> |
