Network device, control method, and storage medium with management of a shared setting value and a unique setting value for each network device of a plurality of network devices

A method for controlling an information processing apparatus comprising:

• managing, by a managing unit, setting values of a plurality of network devices, wherein the setting values include a shared setting value to be set on the plurality of network devices and a unique setting value to be set on a single network device, where the unique setting value is a setting value unique to the single network device;
• changing the unique setting value managed by the managing unit to an initial value without changing the shared setting value if a request of initialization for initializing at least a part of the setting value managed by the managing unit is acquired;
• and
• changing the shared setting value if a request for a change for changing the shared setting value has been obtained.

A non-transitory storage medium storing a readable program for causing a computer to execute a controlling method executed in an information processing apparatus, the method comprising:

• managing, by a managing unit, setting values of a plurality of network devices, wherein the setting values include a shared setting value to be set on the plurality of network devices and a unique setting value to be set on a single network device, wherein the unique setting value is a setting value unique to the single network device;
• changing the unique setting value managed by the managing unit to an initial value without changing the shared setting value if a request of initialization for initializing at least a part of the setting value managed by the managing unit is acquired;
• and
• changing the shared setting value if a request for a change for changing the shared setting value has been obtained.
