摘要:
A network system in which a network adopting a node redundancy protocol and a network adopting an STP protocol as other protocol for managing a state of a port coexist, which is configured to manage, by the STP protocol as other protocol, a state of a port which belongs to a master node 10 and a backup node 20 forming the network adopting the STP protocol and is under the management of the node redundancy protocol and also under the management of the STP protocol, and in which the master node 10 or the backup node 20 transmits a Hello message as a control frame for monitoring a node and a link to all or a part of nodes connected to the port under the management of the node redundancy protocol, as well as transmitting a Flush message as a control frame for rewriting a forwarding database to all or a part of nodes connected to the port under the management of the node redundancy protocol at the time of switching to a master mode.
