PURPOSE: A method for managing and displaying a representative state of a network equipment of a manager in an SNMP(Simple Network Management Protocol) is provided to manage alarm information on all network equipments, and to display various sorts of importance and representative importance on a network map, thereby supplying the information in connection with a process. CONSTITUTION: A manager of an SNMP receives a PDU, and extracts factors(3a,3b). The manager checks whether a factor presenting a variable exists in the PDU, and if not, the manager determines an alarm ID and severity, but if so, the manager extracts a value of the variable, then determines the alarm ID and the severity(3d,3e). The manager extracts the alarm ID, the severity, and trap information(3f). The manager confirms whether target alarm information exists from the trap information, and if so, the manager stores the alarm ID and the severity information as alarm information(3g). If the target alarm information does not exist, the manager deletes the alarm information(3h). The manager notifies of a deleted or a newly-stored value as an alarm input value, and confirms whether subnet and NE symbols are searched(3j,3i). If so, the manager receives a trap and a notification value, but if not, the manager searches the subnet and the NE symbols, and receives the trap and the notification value(3m,3n,3o,3p,3q). The manager obtains representative importance, and converts into an output value(3r). The manager processes the representative importance by the converted value(3s).
