Abstract
This network system includes a first device serving as a shared resource connected to a network, a second device connected to the network and including an object corresponding to the first device, and a third device for dynamically allocating first and second IP addresses of a plurality of available IP addresses to the first and second devices. The object has a static IP address, and the second device associates the first IP address allocated to the first device with the IP address of the object.
Claims19
A network system comprising:
- a first device serving as a shared resource connected to a network;
- a second device connected to the network and including an object corresponding to the first device;
- and
- a third device for dynamically allocating first and second IP addresses of a plurality of available IP addresses to the first and second devices,
- wherein the object has a static IP address, and the second device associates the first IP address allocated to the first device with the IP address of the object.
A network system comprising;
- a first device serving as a shared resource connected to a network;
- a second device connected to the network and including an object corresponding to the first device;
- and
- a third device for allocating a plurality of IP addresses of a plurality of available IP addresses to the first device and for allocating a second IP address to the second device,
- wherein the object has a static IP address, and the first device dynamically allocates a first IP address of the plurality of allocated IP addresses to itself, and the second device associates the first IP address allocated to the first device with the IP address of the object.
A computer program product executed on a second device in a network system, the network system including a first device serving as a shared resource connected to a network, the second device connected to the network and including an object corresponding to the first device having a static IP address, and a third device for dynamically allocating first and second IP addresses of a plurality of available IP addresses to the first and second devices, the computer program product including:
- an instruction for associating the first IP address allocated to the first device with the IP address of the object;
- and
- an instruction for routing to the first device serving as the shared resource by the first IP address associated with the IP address of the object when the IP address of the object is accessed.
A security management method used in a network system including a first device serving as a shared resource connected to a network, and a second device connected to the network and including an object corresponding to the first device having a static IP address, the method comprising the steps of:
- a) dynamically allocating first and second IP addresses of a plurality of available IP addresses to the first and second devices;
- and
- b) associating the first IP address allocated to the first device with the IP address of the object.
