Abstract:
A switch apparatus capable of being coupled to a computer and a plurality of devices, the switch apparatus includes: a first bridge coupled to the computer; a second-bridge group coupled to the devices; and a controller for controlling the connection relationship between the first bridge and the second-bridge group, wherein the controller assigns physical identifiers having different bus identifiers to the plurality of devices, assigns logical identifiers to the devices in accordance with an identifier assigned to the first bridge in response to an instruction for reading connection states of the devices received from the computer when the computer is coupled to the first bridge, and converts a physical identifier and a logical identifier of a packet transmitted between the first bridge and the second-bridge group in accordance with the correspondence relationships between the physical identifiers and the logical identifiers.
