Abstract
A relay apparatus includes a first data storage unit and a processor. The first data storage unit stores an output port identifier in connection with a combination of a port identifier and a communication type identifier. The processor obtains, when a frame is received, a first output port identifier corresponding to a combination of a port identifier of a port that received the frame and a communication type identifier included in the received frame by use of the first data storage unit to output the received frame to a port identified by the first output port identifier.
Claims7
A relay apparatus comprising:
- a first data storage unit to store an output port identifier in connection with a combination of a port identifier and a communication type identifier;
- and
- a processor to obtain, when a frame is received, a first output port identifier corresponding to a combination of a port identifier of a port that received the frame and a communication type identifier included in the received frame by use of the first data storage unit to output the received frame to a port identified by the first output port identifier.
A control method executed by a computer, the control method comprising:
- receiving a frame;
- obtaining, by the computer, an output port identifier corresponding to a combination of a port identifier of a port that received the frame and a communication type identifier included in the received frame by use of a data storage unit storing an output port identifier in connection with a combination of a port identifier and a communication type identifier;
- and
- outputting the received frame to a port identified by the obtained output port identifier.
A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium storing a program that causes a computer to execute a procedure, the procedure comprising:
- receiving a frame;
- obtaining an output port identifier corresponding to a combination of a port identifier of a port that received the frame and a communication type identifier included in the received frame by use of a data storage unit storing an output port identifier in connection with a combination of a port identifier and a communication type identifier;
- and
- outputting the received frame to a port identified by the obtained output port identifier.
