Business network is designed to match their organizational structure. Therefore, network reconfiguration is required to meet change of organizational structure and requirements from users. However, quick and detailed reconfiguration is difficult because configuration in conventional network equipment need to be modified manually for each network apparatuses. The purpose of this study is to improve quick response of network reconfiguration to meet users' requests. We realize the access control method based on organizational structure by cooperating OpenFlow and database that saved user information. We propose the network control scheme that users are able to edit structure information. To confirm the proposed methods, we made test bed and performed operation verification. As a result, we confirmed that the change of structure information by users was reflected in network control within 5 seconds.
