Active-Standby Management State Switching Through Internal Coordination
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing active/standby management systems rely on third-party apparatuses for status switching, leading to low flexibility, high deployment costs, and complexity.
Innovation Solution
The management apparatuses in the active/standby system can switch their status independently without relying on external third-party apparatuses, using internal coordination and synchronization of connection statuses with reference apparatuses to determine and meet specific switching conditions.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If third-party apparatuses are used for status switching, then status switching can be achieved, but flexibility is reduced and deployment costs increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the status switching function from external third-party apparatuses and relocates it to the management apparatuses themselves. Each management apparatus independently determines connection statuses and switches states based on internal logic, eliminating dependency on external systems and thereby improving flexibility while maintaining reliable status switching capability.
Solution Approach 2:
The management apparatuses perform status switching autonomously using their own connection status detection and switching condition evaluation mechanisms. The system serves itself by internally determining when and how to switch between active and standby states without requiring external control, thus enhancing both flexibility and reducing deployment complexity.
2Reliability
If third-party apparatuses are used for status switching, then status switching can be achieved, but deployment costs and complexity increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent removes the third-party apparatus component from the system architecture entirely. The status switching functionality is extracted and embedded within the management apparatuses, which now contain all necessary logic for connection status determination and state switching, thereby simplifying deployment while preserving reliable status switching.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent merges the status switching function with the management apparatuses themselves. The connection status detection, switching condition evaluation, and state transition logic are combined within the same apparatus that manages network elements, eliminating the need for separate third-party switching infrastructure and reducing overall system complexity.
3Reliability
If third-party apparatuses are used for status switching, then status switching can be achieved, but external dependencies are created
Solution Approach 1:
The management apparatuses independently perform all status switching operations using their own connection status detection and evaluation mechanisms. Each apparatus autonomously determines whether switching conditions are met and executes state transitions without requiring external apparatuses, thereby achieving complete operational independence while maintaining reliable status switching capability.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent extracts the status switching dependency from the system by removing third-party apparatuses entirely. The switching functionality is self-contained within the management apparatuses, which independently evaluate connection statuses and execute state changes based on internal logic, thereby eliminating external dependencies while preserving switching reliability.

AI summary
This application relates to the field of communications technologies, and discloses a running status switching method, an apparatus, an active/standby management system, and a network system. The method includes: A first management apparatus first determines a connection status corresponding to at least one reference apparatus managed by an active/standby management system, and then switches between a running status of an active state of the first management apparatus and the running status of a standby state of the first management apparatus based on the connection status corresponding to the at least one reference apparatus. The connection status corresponding to the reference apparatus includes a connection status between the reference apparatus and at least one management apparatus in the active/standby management system, and the at least one management apparatus includes the first management apparatus. The management apparatus can switch the running status of the management apparatus without relying on a third-party apparatus, this can improve flexibility in switching the running status of the management apparatus. This application is used in the management apparatus.
