Abstract
If the definition of one MIB tree structure is dispersed across a plurality of MIB files, a desired object ID cannot be acquired without sequentially searching a several MIB files when the object ID is searched for. A management device includes a file linking unit linking a plurality of management-information database structure definition files (MIB files). The file linking unit reads header portions of a plurality of MIB files, learns the connection relationship of the plurality of MIB files from the read content, determines the order of linking from the learned connection relationship, and links the plurality of MIB files while reorganizing the content of each of the MIB files, thereby obtaining a single file MIB (linked MIB file).
