Abstract

An object of the present disclosure is to provide a network device and a method for setting the network device that can, in developing functional modules, perform abnormality detection based on statistical information and setting verification in consideration of a dependency relationship between the functional modules and statistical information and can address a change in a policy in the setting verification and a change in a condition in the abnormality detection. In the network device according to the present disclosure, an existing setting of each module, external information, a dependency relationship, and a policy are collected at one location (setting verification unit) by using a common language. When a new setting is made to the modules, a new dependency relationship is set, or new external information is acquired, the new setting is sent to the setting verification unit and checked against the existing setting, the external information, and the dependency relationship. Then, when the new setting is in a normal range of the policy, the new setting is made to the modules.
