The present invention discloses a method, device and system for automatically discovering optical fiber connections within a network element. The method comprises: a destination single board judges whether it is the first connection of the destination single board and a source single board according to a triple message sent by the source single board, which is received in a predetermined period, and if so, the destination single board sends a hexad message, which is generated by combining its own triple message, to the automatically switched optical network (ASON), and stores said hexad message in a local database; otherwise, the destination single board sends a hexad message corresponding to said triple message, which is stored in the local database, to the ASON when a timing is reached; when the ASON receives the hexad message and judges that the hexad message is not stored locally, it detects the validity of the connection corresponding to said hexad message, and it locally stores said hexad message if said connection is valid, otherwise, it displays connection mistake information to the user. The present invention solves the problem of error proneness and high maintenance costs, which are caused by manually configuring optical fiber connections within a network element at present. |
