A network management method. The method includes: obtaining a network type of a target network; obtaining a logical network model of the target network based on the network type and a logical network recommendation model; determining a physical network model of the target network based on the logical network model and a physical network recommendation model; and performing network configuration based on the physical network model of the target network. An advantage of the embodiments lies in that, when a user inputs the network type of the target network instead of a large quantity of detailed network configurations, a network management system can automatically establish the required target network for the user, thereby greatly improving efficiency of establishing the target network.
