Abstract

The invention relates to a method for managing the configuration and the inventory of a network comprising at least one IP-based network element (1) and at least one control and visualisation unit (2). The inventive method comprises at least the following steps: a) information is collected from the at least one IP-based network element (1); b) the information is stored and made available in at least one appropriate file; c) the information is communicated in a targeted manner between the at least one IP-based network element (1) and the at least one control and visualisation unit (2) by means of at least one network management protocol. The at least one network management protocol used is the HTTP protocol. The invention also relates to a corresponding network configuration management and network inventory management system.
