If the first protection path is ACD, the user can mark A, C, and D as "idle" through the network management server, and then A, C, and D can also be used as other working paths. The first protection path, that is, A, C, and D are allowed to protect other working paths. If A, C, and D are marked as "occupied", then A, C, and D cannot be used as the first protection paths of other working paths, that is, It can only be used as the first protection path of ABD. It can be understood that the "idle" and "occupied" here are just an indicator, used to indicate whether the network element device allows protection of multiple working paths, of course, it can also be other visual indicators, which are not limited in the present invention.

S102. Receive a path switching instruction.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the path switching instruction received by the network management server may be a service switching instruction triggered in response to the operation of the user at the foreground of the network management server, or it may be a path switching instruction sent after a failure of a communication device on the network side, such as a BSC occurrence If there is a fault, a path switching command will be sent to the network management server, and then the network management server will perform subsequent path switching steps according to the path switching command.

If the network element device is detected to be working normally according to the address, send a service activation command to the network element device according to the address, so that the network element device performs data transmission, and then switches the service transmitted on the working path to the first protection path for transmission .

After receiving the path switching instruction, the network management server will detect the network element equipment on the first protection path according to the configuration information of the first protection path. Whether the element equipment is working normally, if the network element equipment in the first protection path is working normally, the network management server will send the service activation command to each network element equipment according to the address of the network element equipment, then each network element equipment receives the service After activating the command, data transmission will start, and then the service transmitted on the working path will be switched to the first protection path for transmission, so as to transmit data by using the first protection path.
