A method for obtaining a standard configuration template of a network device and a computing device includes obtaining configuration commands of a plurality of network devices, erating a command template set including a plurality of different command templates, generating a correlation matrix based on the command template set, clustering the plurality of network devices based on the correlation matrix to obtain at least two categories of network devices, dividing the correlation matrix into a plurality of submatrixes based on a clustering result, performing singular value decomposition on each submatrix to obtain a non-zero singular value, and using, as a standard configuration template of a corresponding category, a command template in the command template set that makes a contribution greater than a threshold to the non-zero singular value.
