Abstract
A transmission apparatus arranged on one packet ring connects the packet ring and the other packet ring by performing an acquiring step for acquiring connection information of the other packet ring and the own apparatus and a notifying step for notifying other transmission apparatuses arranged on the packet ring of redundant configuration information indicating a status of the interconnection between the packet ring and the other packet ring, based on the connection information.
Claims18
A transmission apparatus arranged on a transmission channel ring on which pluralities of transmission apparatuses are arranged, the transmission apparatus comprising:
- an acquiring unit configured to acquire connection information indicative of a connection state of the transmission apparatus with another transmission channel ring other than the transmission channel ring;
- and
- a notifying unit configured to notify, to others of the transmission apparatuses arranged on the transmission channel ring, an interconnection state between the transmission channel ring and the other transmission channel ring based on the connection information by transmitting redundant configuration information indicative of the interconnection state.
A method of connecting transmission channel rings on which pluralities of transmission apparatuses are arranged, the method comprising:
- acquiring connection information indicative of a connection state of the transmission apparatus with another transmission channel ring other than the transmission channel ring;
- and
- notifying, to others of the transmission apparatuses arranged on the transmission channel ring, an interconnection state between the transmission channel ring and the other transmission channel ring based on the connection information by transmitting redundant configuration information indicative of the interconnection state.
A computer-readable recording medium that stores therein a computer program for realizing a method of connecting transmission channel rings on which pluralities of transmission apparatuses are arranged, the computer program making a computer execute:
- acquiring connection information indicative of a connection state of the transmission apparatus with another transmission channel ring other than the transmission channel ring;
- and
- notifying, to others of the transmission apparatuses arranged on the transmission channel ring, an interconnection state between the transmission channel ring and the other transmission channel ring based on the connection information by transmitting redundant configuration information indicative of the interconnection state.
