A method for controlling the configuration of a configuration parameter set of a remote device uses a unique identifier to identify the current configuration parameter set of the remote device. The identifier varies with the content of the configuration parameter set. So the remote device transmits its own identifier of the configuration parameter set to the configuration management server and compares it with the identifier of the configuration parameter set of the remote device stored in the configuration management server after starting. When the identifiers are not the same, the configuration management server updates the configuration of the remote device. Otherwise the remote device operates with the original configuration. In addition, a corresponding device for controlling the configuration of the configuration parameter set of the remote device is provided. In the present invention, because the interaction of the identifiers reduces the management flow of the network, the load of the management information in the network and the management system is efficiently lessened. Thereby the cost of the operators for managing the remote device is reduced and the reliability of the configuration also can be ensured.
