Patent

CA 2188085

an ATM network topology management method for an ATM network to that a plurality of ATM switches and a plurality of ATM terminals are connected optionally, wherein an NBMA Next Hop Resolution Protocol (referred to as NHRP, hereinafter) is used for obtaining an ATM address from a network address in the ATM network, and a network management system is assumed to be directly connected to the ATM network, the ATM network topology management method comprising: a first step for reading a network address of an NHRP server that has been set in an NHRP client placed in the network management system; a second step for recognizing a topology of a logical subnet served by the NHRP server within the ATM network by accessing the NHRP server with a network address derived from the first step and obtaining information on a logical subnet served by the NHRP server and an ATM terminal and an ATM switch belonging to the logical subnet; and a third step in which the network management system reads information on other NHRP server within the ATM network from the NHRP server, obtains a network address of the other NHRP server, accesses the other NHRP server with an obtained network address and obtains information on other logical subnet served by the other NHRP server and an ATM terminal and an ATM switch belonging to the other logical subnet so that a topology of a logical subnet served by the other NHRP server is automatically recognized in the ATM network.
