Abstract

A method for monitoring a network component. The network component performs a calculation checking the correct functionality of the network component using data which is specific to a state of the network component. The calculation result is transmitted to a monitoring device, which checks the state of the network component and the correct functionality of same using the transmitted calculation result. A request message with a parameter that is specific to the request is transmitted from the monitoring device to the network component, and the specific parameter is used by the network component in the calculation process. This enables the monitoring device to ensure that the result transmitted from the network component is actually up-to-date. Errors can be detected to the effect that a malfunction or a failure of the functionality of the network component has occurred.
