1. A method for determining a networking mode supported by a cell, applied to a network device and comprising:
when receiving SIB1-related information sent by a terminal device, sending a connection setup request to a target cell; and
when connection setup of the network device and the target cell fails, determining that the target cell supports standalone networking; or
receiving, from the target cell, a first message responding to the connection setup request, wherein the first message comprises second indication information, and the second indication information is used to indicate a networking mode supported by the target cell; and
determining, according to the second indication information, the networking mode supported by the target cell.
