ABSTRACT:
A technique is disclosed for sending alarm information to a network management station from at least one of a plurality of network stations wherein an unusual event(s) has occurred. The network stations are located in a wide area network and are managed by the network management station using a control path. An occurrence of an unusual event is detected in the at least one of the plurality of network stations. Following this, alarm information is generated in the network station wherein the unusual event has occurred. The alarm information includes address information for specifying the network station. Subsequently, the alarm information is sent using an alarm path, which is dedicated to transmission of the alarm information, to the network management station.
