PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To flexibly utilize shared reserve resources by using not only communication devices in a communication system but also various functional parts as the shared reserve resources.SOLUTION: In a communication system which includes a communication network including a communication group and a control part for monitoring and controlling the communication devices in the communication network, the communication network includes the shared reserve resources to be used as a temporary switching destination of active resources for the unit of a communication device or for the unit of a functional part within the communication device. In the case where a communication device in the communication network or active resources as a functional part in the communication device are not available any more, the control device determines switching destination shared reserve resources as a switching destination of the unavailable active resources and sets a configuration definition corresponding to a configuration definition in the unavailable active resources to the switching destination shared reserve resources such that, on the basis of control by the control device, a signal path between the unavailable active resources and other active resources is switched to a signal path between the switching destination shared reserve resources and the other active resources.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 6 【課題】通信システムにおける通信装置のみならず、様々な機能部を共用予備資源として使用して、柔軟に共用予備資源を利用する。【解決手段】通信装置群を含む通信網と、当該通信網における各通信装置の監視制御を行う制御装置とを有する通信システムにおいて、前記通信網には、通信装置単位、又は通信装置内の機能部単位に、現用資源の一時的な切替先として用いる共用予備資源が備えられており、前記通信網における通信装置、又は通信装置内の機能部である現用資源が使用できなくなる場合に、前記制御装置が、当該使用不可の現用資源の切替先とする切替先共用予備資源を決定し、当該切替先共用予備資源に対して前記使用不可の現用資源における構成定義に相当する構成定義を設定し、前記制御装置による制御に基づき、前記使用不可の現用資源と他の現用資源との間の信号経路を、前記切替先共用予備資源と当該他の現用資源との間の信号経路に切り替えるように構成される。【選択図】図６
