An optical transmission device includes a wavelength multiplexing/demultiplexing unit, a plurality of transponders, an optical switch unit and a controller. The controller includes a table in which a plurality of items at least including priority order, a transmission label, a receiving label and a receiving label expected value correspond to the respective transponders. And the controller rewrites the transmission label of the transponder corresponding to the client device of the lower priority order than the priority order of the client device connected to the transponder of the irregular input, upon the optical signal provided by the wavelength multiplexing/demultiplexing unit to one of the transponders being irregular, and controls the label-changed transponder for which the transmission label has been rewritten so that the label-changed transponder provides the wavelength multiplexing/demultiplexing unit with the optical signal including the rewritten transmission label.
