ABSTRACT:
A network management apparatus in a network that includes a physical network, and a logical network assigned to the physical network performs: acquiring nodes stored in a distance information storage unit with distances larger than a distance for a node identified by fault information, and a service providing device to which the nodes are connected from the distance information storage unit when the fault information is received; acquiring link information stored in a link information storage unit based on the nodes acquired by a node acquisition unit; and a fault area identification unit that acquires information on a device connected to nodes indicated by the link information acquired by a link information acquisition unit, and identifies the acquired device information, the service providing device acquired, and link information acquired as an area on which the fault influences.
