Network managing method, medium and system

摘要

For realizing a system for uniformly operating and managing a network system capable of managing a plurality of types of logical networks for one network entity composed of a plurality of objects, information on network topologies is collected from each of the plurality of objects. Display data is created for each of a plurality of types of logical network topologies for each object in accordance with the collected information on network topologies. A control is conducted in accordance with the created display data so as to display a physical connection relationship, a logical connection relationship, and a virtual connection relationship on a virtual screen. Also, for providing a database display method capable of displaying information contained in a database in a state suitable to display characteristics of the data, data in the database is two-dimensionally displayed in a two-dimensional display area, and all or a portion of the two-dimensionally displayed data is three-dimensionally displayed in a three-dimensional display area. A projection view of the three-dimensional display is also displayed in a projection view display area. The user can manipulate any of the displays in the respective display areas, and the manipulation is reflected to the remaining displays.
