Patent ID: 11277306

Abstract:
A network function information management method, where the method includes: obtaining, by a management network element, identification information of a network repository function (NRF) instance, where the NRF instance stores information about a network function (NF) instance, and the identification information is used to indicate the NRF instance associated with the NF instance; and sending, by the management network element, a first message to the NF instance or a management unit of the NF instance, where the first message includes the identification information of the NRF instance; or establishing, by the management network element, an association relationship between the NF instance and the NRF instance based on the identification information of the NRF instance. The method helps the NF instance register with the NRF instance, update the information about the NF instance to the NRF instance, or query information about another NF instance from the NRF instance.
