An intelligent method of building up a telecommunication network is used to set a Network Element (NE) and an Element Management System (EMS) within an in-band/out-of-band network management framework. The method provides the network element with a random address and makes it connect to the element management system according to a default remote address. After successful connection, the element management system automatically sets up, manages, and allocates the network element. If the network element cannot connect to the element management system by itself, it may receive a Link Layer Discovery Protocol packet about successful connection via multicast generated from network elements nearby. The network may likewise acquire correct connection information about successful connection to the element management system. Thus, this invention allows a newly added network element to be quickly and automatically set in the telecommunication network.
