A method, apparatus and computer program for preferentially displaying partial information related to one of a plurality of network equipment connected to a network being managed by a network management system. The partial information is required for network management to be conducted from the network equipment. A managed terminal is included in each network equipment connected to the network. The network management system collects management information from each of the network equipment connected to the network and stores the management information therein. When conducting network management from the network equipment, the managed terminal thereof sends a request for network management to the network management system. The network management system transfers a program for managing the network to the managed terminal. The transferred program informs the network management system of the identification of the managed terminal and the network management system transfers partial information related to the managed terminal to the managed terminal based on the identification. The managed terminal then displays the transferred partial information so that network management can be conducted from the network equipment.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION An object of the present invention is to enable preferentially displaying partial information, related to network equipment being managed on the network by a network management system, equipment of information required for network management when network management is to be executed on the network equipment.
To achieve the above object, the present invention provides a network which is managed by a network management system.
The network management system collects management information from each of a plurality of network equipment existing in the network and stores the management information collected from the plural network equipment.
Network management of the network can be accomplished in response to a request from one of the network equipment by accessing the network management system and causing the network management system to transfer a program for managing the network to the network equipment requesting network management.
The network equipment requesting network management informs the network management system of identification information for identifying the network equipment using the transferred program.
The network management system then transfers partial information related to the network equipment as indicated by the identification information.
The partial information includes information required for network management to be deleted by the network equipment.
The network equipment then displays the transferred partial information.
According to the present invention since partial information related to the network equipment requesting network management is transferred from the network management system to the network equipment and displayed on the network equipment, a user is not required to find partial information related to the network equipment being used.
Therefore, the user can immediately execute network management.
If a browser has been installed in the network equipment and a program for managing a network has not been installed in the network equipment, then the network equipment can still effect management of the network according to the present invention
