ABSTRACT:
A method for implementing a virtual Network Element (NE), including: constructing type definition information of a virtual NE and a virtual board, which has all type parameters of an actual NE and board of the same type; obtaining the type definition information to construct a virtual NE entity and a virtual board entity which has property information of an actual NE; configuring service and protection information for the constructed virtual NE entity. A network management system for implementing a virtual NE is also disclosed. It is possible to construct and maintain a virtual NE which can simulate actual NE devices completely in accordance with the present invention.
