The disclosure relates to communication technologies and discloses a method and a system for emergency switching. In accordance with the embodiments of the present invention, by configuring a mapped IP address in a previous level network device which can map addresses, the embodiments of the present invention enable corresponding devices in respective service processing subsystems to be backup devices to each other. When a problem occurs in a device of a service processing subsystem, as long as an IP address, which is mapped to the network device, in the previous level network device is mapped to a corresponding device of another service processing subsystem, and the corresponding device in another service processing subsystem acts as a backup device to process a service of the device in which the problem occurs, thus enabling simple and fast starting of a backup device when a problem occurs in the original device.
