The invention discloses a network equipment configuration method, a client, a server and a network system, which belong to the field of network communication. The method comprises the following steps of: receiving a configuration submission request from the client, and caching configuration information in the configuration submission request; submitting the configuration information into a candidate dataset, and running and validating the configuration information to a running configuration database by using the candidate dataset; in a configuration conflict, updating a fundament dataset based on the current running configuration dataset; and acquiring the cached configuration information, re-executing the cached configuration information on the new fundamental dataset, running and validating the re-executed configuration information to the running configuration data set; and returning an execution result to the client. By the method, the client, the server and the network system, the requirements of concurrent configuration of a plurality of users are met, the operation concurrency of the plurality of users is improved, and the problems of low user concurrency and deadlock produced in overall locking or partial locking processing in the prior art are solved.
