Abstract
An object is to provide a monitoring device capable of acquiring ONU-specific information and connection information even in the case of an optical communication system with the MC system, and enabling optical fiber cable switching work to be finished in a short time. The monitoring device according to the present invention is a monitoring device that monitors an optical communication system in which an OLT and an ONU are connected by a communication optical fiber, and includes: an optical receiver for receiving a signal beam transmitted by the ONU from the communication optical fiber; and an OAM frame analysis unit for extracting, from the signal beam received by the optical receiver, an OAM frame at a MEG level at which the ONU and the OLT are set as monitoring end points, and acquiring a transmission source address and a MEG-ID that identifies a MEG in the OAM frame.
