MANAGEMENT APPARATUS, MANAGEMENT APPARATUS CONTROL METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM
First Claim
1. An apparatus configured to manage a network device, the apparatus comprising:
- a storage device configured to store a map image of one or more floors on which the network device is installed, positional information about an installation location of the network device on the map image, and configuration information about the network device;
a setting unit configured to set a region on the map image and a rule that the network device complies with in the region;
a moving unit configured to designate a movement destination for moving the network device by changing the positional information;
a determination unit configured, if the positional information has been changed, to determine a content of a change of a configuration required to be executed to the network device when the network device is moved, by comparing the configuration information whose positional information has been changed and the rule in which the changed positional information belongs; and
a notification unit configured to notify to an operator the content of the change of the configuration.
