1. A random access method, performed by a network device, comprising:
sending first resource configuration information to a terminal, wherein the first resource configuration information comprises resource configuration information for sending a random access request and resource configuration information for receiving a random access response, the resource configuration information for sending the random access request is used to indicate M first frequency resources, the resource configuration information for receiving the random access response is used to indicate N second frequency resources, and M and N are positive integers greater than or equal to 1;
selecting at least one free frequency resource from the M first frequency resources indicated by the first resource configuration information as a target first frequency resource;
receiving the random access request sent by the terminal on the target first frequency resource;
selecting at least one free frequency resource from the N second frequency resources indicated by the first resource configuration information as a target second frequency resource; and
sending the random access response on the target second frequency resource to the terminal.
