Port status configuration method, apparatus, and system, and storage medium

An apparatus for maintaining port statuses, comprising:

• a memory comprising instructions;
• a processor coupled to the memory, wherein when the instructions are executed by the processor, cause the apparatus to:
• obtain port datasets of a plurality of ports of the apparatus, wherein the port datasets are precision time protocol port datasets, and the apparatus is one of a plurality of translators;
• and
• send the port datasets of the ports to a configuration device, wherein the port datasets are used by a processor of the configuration device to determine port statuses of the ports based on the port datasets of the ports and port datasets of ports of other translators of the translators, the translators are integrated in at least two independent devices, and the port statuses of the ports comprise precision time protocol port statuses.
