1. A communication port management method, used to manage a plurality of communication ports on a communication device connection panel, wherein the method comprises:
obtaining at least two images of the communication device connection panel, wherein each image corresponds to one sub-panel of the communication device connection panel, wherein each sub-panel of the communication device connection panel comprises one or more communication ports of the plurality of communication ports, and wherein each of the plurality of communication ports is attached with a physical port label that identifies each communication port;
generating a port information matrix corresponding to each image to obtain at least two port information matrices, wherein each port information matrix indicates a port identifier of each communication port in a sub-panel corresponding to the port information matrix and a location of each communication port in the sub-panel;
determining a location of each sub-panel relative to the communication device connection panel to obtain at least two sub-panel locations;
generating an overall port information matrix of the communication device connection panel based on the at least two port information matrices and the at least two sub-panel locations, wherein the overall port information matrix indicates a port identifier of each communication port in the plurality of communication ports and a location of each communication port in the communication device connection panel; and
performing communication port management based on the overall port information matrix.
