Abstract
A network device includes a communicator which communicate with an information processing apparatus on a network by using a first communication protocol requiring authentication and a second communication protocol requiring no authentication, a setting unit which sets the operation mode of the communicator so as to communicate with an object necessary for Plug and Play by using the second communication protocol and communicate with an object other than the object necessary for Plug and Play by using the first communication protocol, and a determination unit which determines, using identification information to identify configuration information contained in information received from the information processing apparatus, whether the configuration information is necessary for the Plug and Play.
