Interface management service entity, function service entity, and element management method

摘要

The present application provides an interface management service entity, a function service entity, and an element management method. After receiving a device management service request message sent by a network element, a cloud computing-based interface management service entity invokes, according to a network standard identifier and a request service type that correspond to the network element and are carried in the device management service request message, a service function of a function service entity in a cloud computing-based element management system to generate a service request response message; and sends the service request response message to the network element corresponding to the network standard identifier. According to the technical solutions, a cloud computing-based element management system manages multiple network elements working in different standards, which avoids a resource waste problem caused when multiple element management systems manages network elements working in different standards, and effectively improves hardware utilization.
