ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides a technique suitable for configuration management of a network for which the number of logical network layers can be set. A network management apparatus10receives an address definition information file defining logical hierarchical structure of an IPv6 network20, from an operator through a definition information reception unit103. A configuration analysis unit104generates management tables defining hierarchical relationships of logical networks, based on the address definition information file and IP addresses collected respectively by an information collection unit102from network elements belonging to the IPv6 network20, and registers the management tables into a management DB unit101.
