As the work for managing a whole LAN effectively without limited purposes, there are works of Policy-based network management (PBNM). The existing PBNM is defined in some organizations including the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF). However, it has structural problems. For example, it is necessary to add and exchange the mechanism called the PEP located between network servers and clients. That is, it is needed to exchange the network system configuration. To improve the problems, we have been studying next generation PBNM called Destination Addressing Control system (DACS) Scheme. The DACS Scheme controls the whole LAN through communication control by the client software as PEP which locates on a client computer. We have been directly studied the essential part to realize the DACS Scheme. That is, we have not been examined the support system for operation and management of DACS system. In this paper, the support system is examined.
