Abstract
According to this invention, it is possible to display the overall configuration of a network and, at the same time, an important part of the network in detail according to the objective of monitoring so as to be able to grasp/monitor the important part of the network in detail, while globally grasping/monitoring the network configuration, for the purpose of an efficient monitoring operation on the network configuration. A network configuration management apparatusfor managing the configuration of a networkformed by connecting a plurality of network devices comprises a topology information acquiring sectionfor acquiring topology information on each of the network devices and a degree of importance determining sectionfor computationally determining the degree of importance of each of the network devices, using the topology information acquired by the topology information acquiring section. The apparatusdisplays a network map on the basis of the computationally determined degrees of importance.
