Abstract
A system for remote management of private networks having duplicate network addresses is provided which consists of a plurality of managed customer networks ( ) within a customer domain ( ). The managed customer networks ( ) within the customer domain ( ) are linked to a level one manager ( ) and have unique network addresses. The managed customer networks ( ) within the customer domain ( ) which have duplicate network addresses are assigned to different level one managers. Errors occurring in the managed customer networks are sent to a level one manager ( ) which generates an error message uniquely identifying the node or interface link experiencing the error. This error message is forwarded to a level two manager ( ) which then routes the error message to an appropriate operator console ( ) where the error is diagnosed and corrected.
