1. A hierarchical management system on a distributed network management platform, comprising:
network management stations, classified into upper layer network management stations and lower layer network management stations based on network domains respectively managed by the upper layer network management stations and lower layer network management stations, wherein
one upper layer network management station is connected to a plurality of lower layer network management stations via a network management private network and network management agents, the upper layer network management station is configured to authorize the lower layer network management stations, determine network domains of lower layer network management stations so as to implement division of network domains and manage the lower layer network management stations and the network domains of lower layer network management stations via the lower layer network management stations;
the lower layer network management stations are configured to only manage the devices within their respective network domains, and provide information to their respective upper layer network management stations actively or passively.
