US 2017/0371801 A1 · INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS AND INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD

Abstract

An information processing apparatus includes a memory and a processor coupled to the memory. The memory is configured to store device connection information indicating a connection destination device coupled to a first device among a plurality of devices included in a communication network. The processor is configured to: search physical address learning information of the connection destination device in preference to physical address learning information of search target devices other than the connection destination device on basis of the device connection information. The physical address learning information of a specific device includes physical addresses learned for every port of the specific device. The search target devices are the plurality of devices other than the first device. The processor is configured to: obtain a connection destination port coupled to a first port of the first device on basis of a result of the search.
