The network management system comprises a first data base where information about the physical disposition of the network equipment is stored, a second data base where information about the logical and static connection relation of the network equipment is stored, a third data base where information about the logical and dynamic connection status of the network equipment is stored, and a display unit for displaying various kinds of pieces of information about the network and a network form drawing. The network management system also comprises a first processing unit for displaying the physical disposition of the network equipment and the logical and static connection relation of the network equipment, together with the network form drawing, on the display unit, based on the information stored in the first and second data bases. The network management system further comprises a second processing unit for displaying the physical disposition of the network equipment and the logical and dynamic connection status of the network equipment, together with the network form drawing, on the display unit, based on the information stored in the first and third data bases.
