Abstract
This application relates to the field of communications, and provides an information configuration method to configure an association relationship between an AMF group and network slice information for an NSSF, a default AMF, or an NRF, so that the NSSF, the default AMF, or the NRF can select an AMF group meeting a service requirement. The method includes: determining, by a first management unit, an association relationship between information about an AMF group and network slice information, where the association relationship is used to instruct to select the network slice information based on the information about the AMF group or select the information about the AMF group based on the network slice information; and sending, by the first management unit, the association relationship to a first network unit or a management unit of a first network unit; or storing, by the first management unit, the association relationship.
