Abstract

A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium have stored therein a determination program that causes a computer to execute a process including in a system in which a switch is directly connected to a device that does not support a link layer discovery protocol (LLDP), acquiring, for each switch of a plurality of switches on a connection path of the device, correspondence relation between a port number on a switch side, a MAC address of the device, and link layer discovery protocol reception availability, and determining a switch corresponding to an entry indicating that link layer discovery protocol reception is unavailable among entries in the correspondence relation as an adjacent switch of a device indicating a MAC address of the entry.

Claims (14)

1 . A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium having stored therein a determination program that causes a computer to execute a process comprising:

in a system in which a switch is directly connected to a device that does not support a link layer discovery protocol (LLDP), acquiring, for each switch of a plurality of switches on a connection path of the device, correspondence relation between a port number on a switch side, a MAC address of the device, and link layer discovery protocol reception availability; and

determining a switch corresponding to an entry indicating that link layer discovery protocol reception is unavailable among entries in the correspondence relation as an adjacent switch of a device indicating a MAC address of the entry.

2 . The non-transitory computer-readable recording medium according to claim 1 , wherein the acquiring the correspondence relation includes causing the device to transmit a test packet to acquire the correspondence relation.

3 . The non-transitory computer-readable recording medium according to claim 2 , the process further including:

collecting a topology indicating connection relation of the system when causing the device to transmit the test packet, and reflecting connection relation between the adjacent switch determined in the determining and the device on the collected topology.

4 . An information processing apparatus that supports a system in which a switch is directly connected to a device that does not support a link layer discovery protocol (LLDP), the information processing apparatus comprising:

a memory; and

a processor configured to:

acquire, for each switch of a plurality of switches on a connection path of the device, correspondence relation between a port number on a switch side, a MAC address of the device, and link layer discovery protocol reception availability; and

determine a switch corresponding to an entry indicating that link layer discovery protocol reception is unavailable among entries in the correspondence relation as an adjacent switch of a device indicating a MAC address of the entry.

5 . A determination method comprising:

in a system in which a switch is directly connected to a device that does not support a link layer discovery protocol (LLDP), acquiring, for each switch of a plurality of switches on a connection path of the device, correspondence relation between a port number on a switch side, a MAC address of the device, and link layer discovery protocol reception availability; and

determining a switch corresponding to an entry indicating that link layer discovery protocol reception is unavailable among entries in the correspondence relation as an adjacent switch of a device indicating a MAC address of the entry, by a processor.
