The invention provides network equipment supervision method and system, wherein the method comprises the following steps that a supervision device sends a monitor task to all business nodes in a distribution type network; and each business node acquires monitor information of network equipment according to the monitor task, determines a monitor result according to the monitor information and sends the monitor result to the supervision device. In the invention, the business nodes determine the monitor result according to the monitor information and upload the monitor result to the supervision device, thereby preventing data distortion caused by network transfer of the monitor information and enhancing the monitor effectiveness; and the monitor result transfer occupies small bandwidth, thereby lowering the cost and enhancing the real-time performance of data transmission.
