Abstract
A ring configuring method configures a network in which a plurality of nodes are connected linearly, and performs topology construction for the ring by circulating topology data through the respective nodes and collecting connection information of the respective nodes. The method includes the steps of providing in the topology data a flag indicating whether the connection information is collected in each node; inverting the flag at a terminal station which is an end node of the open ring, and turning the topology data there; causing the topology data to passing through a node other than any terminal station as it is; and adding the connection information to the topology data in each node according to the flag, and performing topology construction.
