A method for determining the type of network equipment is provided by the embodiment of the present invention. The method includes: transmitting a testing optical pulse to a reflector by a detection apparatus; obtaining a factor K of a second network equipment according to the optical power of the testing optical pulse reflected by said reflector, the optical power of the transmitted testing optical pulse, and the fiber distance between said reflector and a first network equipment; determining the equipment type of said second network equipment according to the factor K. The present invention resolves the network topology problems of manually inputting the type of network equipment and so on, realizes the automatic and accurate determination of the types of various network equipments in network, furthermore, determines the topology of the whole network automatically. When said network fails to work, the present invention is able to accurately determine the exact position where the network malfunction occurs and improves the network construction efficiency. |
