Abstract

Embodiments of the present invention disclose a method, an apparatus, and a system for controlling a self-optimization switch. By using technical solutions provided in embodiments of the present invention, enabling and disabling of self-optimization can be controlled, and a state of the self-optimization switch can be obtained. A technical solution provided in embodiments of the present invention is as follows: A method for controlling a self-optimization switch includes: obtaining a target state of a self-optimization switch; and sending a setting command that includes the target state to a managed unit, where the setting command instructs the managed unit to change the state of the self-optimization switch to the target state.

Claims

1. A method for controlling a self-optimization switch, comprising:

obtaining a target state of a self-optimization switch; and

sending a setting command that comprises the target state to a managed unit, wherein the setting command instructs the managed unit to change a state of the self-optimization switch to the target state.

2. The method for controlling a self-optimization switch according to claim 1, wherein before the sending a setting command that comprises the target state to a managed unit, the method further comprises:

obtaining a current state of the self-optimization switch.

3. The method for controlling a self-optimization switch according to claim 2, wherein the obtaining a current state of the self-optimization switch comprises:

sending a query command to the managed unit, wherein the query command is an instruction for obtaining the current state of the self-optimization switch; and

receiving the current state of the self-optimization switch returned from the managed unit.

4. The method for controlling a self-optimization switch according to claim 1, wherein after the sending a setting command that comprises the target state to a managed unit, the method further comprises:

receiving a setting result returned from the managed unit.

5. The method for controlling a self-optimization switch according to claim 1, wherein the setting command comprises information about the managed unit, a type of the self-optimization switch, and the target state of the self-optimization switch.

6. The method for controlling a self-optimization switch according to claim 3, wherein the query command comprises information about the managed unit and a list of self-optimization switch types owned by the managed unit, wherein each element in the list indicates a type of self-optimization switch owned by the managed unit.

7. The method for controlling a self-optimization switch according to claim 3, wherein the receiving the current state of the self-optimization switch returned from the managed unit comprises:

receiving the current state of the self-optimization switch that the managed unit returns through a list of current state information of the self-optimization switch owned by the managed unit, wherein each element in the list is the managed unit and the self-optimization switch owned by the managed unit and a list of current state values corresponding to the self-optimization switch.

8. An apparatus for controlling a self-optimization switch, comprising:

an obtaining module, configured to obtain a target state of a self-optimization switch; and

a processing module, configured to send a setting command that comprises the target state to a managed unit, wherein the setting command instructs the managed unit to change a state of the self-optimization switch to the target state.

9. The apparatus for controlling a self-optimization switch according to claim 8, wherein:

the obtaining module is further configured to obtain a current state of the self-optimization switch.

10. The apparatus for controlling a self-optimization switch according to claim 9, wherein the obtaining module comprises:

a sending unit, configured to send a query command to the managed unit, wherein the query command is an instruction for obtaining the current state of the self-optimization switch; and

a receiving unit, configured to receive the current state of the self-optimization switch returned from the managed unit.

11. The apparatus for controlling a self-optimization switch according to claim 8, wherein:

the receiving unit is further configured to receive a setting result returned from the managed unit.

12. An apparatus for controlling a self-optimization switch, comprising:

a setting command receiving module, configured to receive a setting command that is sent by a managing unit and comprises a target state of a self-optimization switch; and

a processing module, configured to change a state of the self-optimization switch to the target state according to the setting command.

13. The apparatus for controlling a self-optimization switch according to claim 12, further comprising:

a query command receiving module, configured to receive a query command sent by the managing unit;

a querying module, configured to obtain a current state of the self-optimization switch according to the query command; and

a sending module, configured to return the current state of the self-optimization switch to the managing unit.

14. The apparatus for controlling a self-optimization switch according to claim 13, wherein:

the sending module is further configured to return a setting result to the managing unit.
