Abstract
In a network device for setting a configuration definition remotely, a storage generates, upon changing a first (current) IP address to a second IP address, a virtual address which holds the second IP address, a message transceiver transmits a response request message whose source IP address is the second IP address, and a configuration definition setting portion changes the first IP address to the second IP address when the response message for the request is received.

A network device comprising:
- a storage storing, upon changing a first IP address to a second IP address, the second IP address as a virtual address;
- a message transceiver transmitting to a network a response request message whose source IP address is the second IP address, and receiving a response message for the response request message;
- and
- a configuration definition setting portion changing the first IP address to the second IP address when the message transceiver receives the response message.

- a message transceiver transmitting to a network a response request message through a port of which VLAN definition has been changed, and receiving a response message for the response request message;
- and
- a configuration definition setting portion changing the first configuration definition to the second configuration definition, and then returning, when the message transceiver receives no response message, the second configuration definition to the first configuration definition temporarily stored in the backup configuration definition table.
