Abstract
A method of configuring at least one user-specific connection between access points of a transmission network, particularly of a highly available network, which are connectable to user-located network devices, and a server of a network management system, a management module for the server, a configuration tool, and a configuration module for the configuration tool are presented. Network data about the network devices and links between these network devices via which the user-specific connection can be established is determined, and planning data for a representation of the network is generated on the basis of which at least one availability criterion of the network devices or of the links is determinable. Planning data for a representation of the transmission network is then generated, on the basis of which at least one availability criterion of the network devices or of the links is determinable.
