METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR AUTOMATIC RECOGNITION OF NETWORK CONFIGURATION HAVING INTELLIGENT NETWORK REPEATER

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To automatically detect a physical device configuration inside a network node in a network environment where an SNMP is loaded. SOLUTION: A manager terminal where an SNMP manager is loaded transmits an ICMP echo request to each network device in the network nod, a device in an operating state is detected by its response, a transfer request for the stored information on a management information base in the device is transmitted to the SNMP agent of each detected device, and the type of a device existing in the network node is detected according to the returned stored information on the management information base. The device of the connection destination of each port of a device having a bridge function is recognized at an IP level on the basis of the correspondence information of an acquired physical address and an IP address.
