Abstract

There is provided a method for network management performed by a first entity (10), which is configured to manage network slices in a network. The method is performed in response to a first request to set up a first network slice. The method comprises identifying (102) one or more network nodes in the network and/or one or more second network slices to support the first network slice. For each identified network node, an update to an attribute of the identified network node is initiated (104) to add a unique identifier of the first network slice to the attribute of the identified network node. For each identified second network slice, an update to an attribute of the identified second network slice is initiated (106) to add the unique identifier of the first network slice to the attribute of the identified second network slice.
