ABSTRACT:
The IP addresses of network elements are generated based on the ID numbers of nodes within a network having a predetermined configuration. After producing the configuration information including an interconnection relationship among the network elements, the respective IP addresses are determined such that the ID number of each node is used to determine an IP address of each network element according to the interconnection relationship between the node and the network element. A node IP address is determined based on the ID number of the node, and another IP address of each of the network elements other than the nodes is determined based on the sum of the total number of nodes and the ID number of the node.
