Abstract:
1. A transmission apparatus, comprising: a cross connect switch that switches a transmission path for an optical signal input from an optical network making up a redundant configuration and that includes an input slot to which the optical signal is input and an output slot from which the optical signal is output; a storage unit that stores input/output correspondence information where the input slot and the output slot are set in correspondence with each other in accordance with the redundant configuration; a processing unit that generates connection information where the input slot and the output slot of the cross connect switch are set in correspondence with each other based on the input/output correspondence information stored in the storage unit, setting information of a plurality of applications and identification information of the input slot and the output slot of the cross connect switch; and a transmission path switching unit that switches the transmission path for the optical signal by setting the input slot and the output slot of the cross connect switch in correspondence with each other based on the connection information generated in the processing unit.
