Control device, execution device and device management method

A device management method performed by a control device, the control device is a network communications device, the control device connects to an execution device through a network, and the method comprises:

• sending a device management protocol packet through the network, wherein the device management protocol packet indicates an operation performed on a register in a first chip in the execution device and/or the device management protocol packet indicates that a pin of a second chip in the execution device is set to a status indicated by the device management protocol packet.

A device management method performed by an execution device, the execution device is a network communications device and comprises a network communications interface, a processor, and at least one chip, wherein the at least one chip comprises a first chip and a second chip, the first chip and the second chip are a same chip or different chips, the execution device connects to a control device through a network, and the method comprises:

• receiving a device management protocol packet through the network communications interface, wherein the device management protocol packet comprises an indication of an operation performed on a register in the first chip and/or an indication of a status of a pin of the second chip;
• and
• performing the operation performed on the register in the first chip and/or setting the pin of the second chip to a status indicated by the device management protocol packet, based on the device management protocol packet.
