Abstract: Provided is technology simplifying managing locally connected devices. A device management system configured to connect through a network a device manager and a relay manager that connects to multiple devices through a local communication path. The device manager sends to the relay manager through the network a first process request, the first process request conforming to SNMP, and containing device identification information identifying a device that connects to the relay manager. The relay manager acquires from the first process request target identification information identifying management information to process in the management information of a device, generate a second process request containing the target identification information, and send the second process request through the local communication path indicated by the device identification information contained in the first process request.
