1. A method for switching an operating mode of user equipment, comprising:
obtaining a user equipment interconnection request sent by a network device;
parsing the user equipment interconnection request to obtain an expected operating mode message carrying an expected operating mode of the user equipment; and
when a message type corresponding to the expected operating mode message is different from a message type used when the user equipment is in a default operating mode, switching the user equipment from the default operating mode to the expected operating mode based on the expected operating mode message, wherein the default operating mode is used to indicate that the user equipment uses uplink bandwidth in a time division multiplexing mode in a passive optical network PON;
wherein the switching the user equipment from the default operating mode to the expected operating mode comprises:
switching an optical port of the user equipment from a PON mode to an Ethernet mode;
enabling a media access control MAC address forwarding capability of the user equipment; and
indicating a PON optical module of the user equipment to be in a light-emitting state.
