ABSTRACT:
A communication element for a hierarchical management network enhances the reliability of such a network. The communication element features at least 2 interfaces (2, 3) each having an assigned port (7, 8). A connection to communication elements of a higher hierarchical level of the management network can be established via each interface. A further variant of such a communication element features by at least two interfaces (4, 5) to which is assigned a shared port (11) and via each of which a connection to communication elements of a lower hierarchical level can be established. A further variant of a communication element includes features which can be formed from a combination of all the features of the two first variants. Structures of management networks are made possible with the communication elements presented, are explained.
