Network interface management system and method thereof

An apparatus for managing network interface information automatically, comprising:

• polling agents for polling interface information of each piece of network equipment from management information bases of each piece of the network equipment at every predetermined time or in real-time;
• an automatic management module for confirming changes or adds of the interface information read from the polling agents, correcting or managing the interface information;
• and
• a database server for storing registration information for each piece of the network equipment or each interface managed by the automatic management module and providing user interface with the stored information.

A method for managing network interface information, comprising steps of:

• (a) granting codes, indicating sites connected to each interface of each piece of network equipment and generating a management target equipment list;
• (b) collecting interface information for each piece of the network equipment through Simple Network Management Protocol to generate a table at every predetermined time or in real-time;
• (c) checking non-defectiveness of the codes for the collected interface information of the table;
• and
• (d) comparing information registered to a network management system with the collected table using the granted codes and correcting changes of the registered information.

A method for managing network interface information, comprising the steps of:

• (a) inputting interface information connected or to be connected to an interface of each piece of network equipment;
• (b) matching the interface information with interface description;
• (c) registering the inputted information to a network management system;
• and
• (d) changing the interface information using codes of the inputted or registered information.

A method for managing network interface information, comprising the steps of:

• (a) inputting a hostname to each piece of network equipment;
• (b) inputting interface information including a code of corresponding site to one or more interfaces of each piece of the network equipment;
• (c) generating an automatic management list to register the list to a network management system;
• (d) receiving current network equipment information at a predetermined period or in real-time, comparing the received information with the one registered to the network management system using one or more hostname and code information, and performing at lest one of a group of change of the interface information, addition of a new interface and deletion;
• and
• (e) displaying a new interface management picture.
