METHOD FOR MANAGING NETWORK COMPONENTS IN A NETWORK, AND A NETWORK COMPONENT
First Claim
1. A method for managing network components in a network, comprising a request subnet with request network components and a select subnet with select network components, wherein the requesting network component out of the request network components of the request subnet transmits a registration request to a selected network component out of the select network components of the select subnet and, based on the registration request, the selected network component transmits information concerning the configuration of the select subnet at the time of registration request to the requesting network component, wherein, based on the registration request, the selected network component transmits further information concerning the configuration of the select subnet to the requesting network component at a later point in time which is chronologically following the registration request, and in that said latter point in time is not restricted over time.

Abstract
The invention relates to a method for managing network components in a network comprising a request subnet with request network components and a select subnet with select network components as well as to a network component, wherein the requesting network component out of the request network components of the request subnet transmits a registration request to a selected network component out of the select network components of the select subnet and, based on the registration request, the selected network component transmits information concerning the configuration of the select subnet at the time of registration request to the requesting network component, wherein, based on the registration request, the selected network component transmits further information concerning the configuration of the select subnet to the requesting network component at a later point in time which is chronologically following the registration request.

14. A network component comprising
a connecting assembly which is configured to establish connections for electronic data exchange with select network components of a select subnet in a network; -
a retrieving assembly which is configured to retrieve a registration request from a requesting network component in a request subnet connected to the select subnet in the network; a determining assembly which is configured to determine information concerning the configuration of the select subnet and, at a later point in time, to determine further information concerning the configuration of the select subnet at that later point in time; a registration assembly which is configured to make a registration of the requesting network component based on the registration request; and a transmission assembly which is configured to transmit the information determined and the further information to the requesting network component in the request subnet based on the registration.
