A system for controlling topology views for operators in network management includes a data-storage unit which stores data of a base topology view, a security-management unit which controls access-authorization information with respect to each of the operators, the access-authorization information for a given operator defining network elements accessible by the given operator, and a topology-view-management unit which generates data of a dependent topology view by making a partial copy of the data of the base topology view only with respect to the network elements accessible by the given operator, thereby providing the dependent topology view to be presented to the given operator.

Control of topology views in network management

The present invention relates to a method of rerouting a PVC route on an ATM network by previously defining an alternate route for the PVC route and by switching the PVC route to a previously defined alternate route when a fault occurs in a network element forming the PVC route. Further, the present invention relates to a network management system connected to a plurality of network elements, and includes an ATM network resource managing unit for managing resources included in the ATM network; a PVC connection managing unit connected to the element data collecting unit through the LAN or WAN for managing situation of connection of the PVC route; a PVC route searching unit for searching the PVC route; a fault event analyzing unit for receiving a fault from the fault notifying unit through the communication network when the fault occurs at any one of network elements, and analyzing the fault; an alternate route defining unit for previously defining the alternate route for the PVC; and an alternate route processing unit for switching a faulty route to the alternate route defined by the alternate route defining unit when the fault occurs at any one of network elements.
