Problems solved by technology

[0005] However, for typical existing Ethernet devices on the network, there is no energy-saving function in hardware design and chip function, and the purpose of reducing power consumption cannot be achieved; and for devices with energy-saving functions in hardware or chips, In other words, there is also the problem of excessive dependence on hardware design or chip itself to reduce power consumption

Abstract

The invention provides an energy saving method for Ethernet equipment and the Ethernet equipment. The energy saving method comprises that: if the operating mode of the Ethernet equipment is judged to be switched from a non-energy saving mode to an energy saving mode, analyzing the states of links of all ports at a current moment; and closing an interface channel of an in-board link corresponding to the port of which the link is in an ineffective state, or resetting an in-board network chip with the ports of which the links are all in the ineffective state. By the energy saving method and the Ethernet equipment, the online disabling of idle ports and related chips of the Ethernet equipment is realized by controlling the operating mode of the Ethernet equipment so as to reduce the power consumption of the idle chips and interfaces and effectively reduce the whole power consumption of the equipment.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of energy saving, in particular to an energy saving method for reducing the power consumption of Ethernet equipment and the Ethernet equipment. Background technique [0002] As a basic medium access technology of LAN, Ethernet technology has become an important network technology and has been widely used due to its high flexibility and simplicity of implementation, and the equipment is also moving towards high density and high bandwidth. develop. [0003] Typical Ethernet devices have more ports and interface types, but for users, in order to ensure the stability and reliability of the network, users will reserve a large port and bandwidth margin for the devices on the network, resulting in Port idle. [0004] As the country vigorously develops energy conservation and emission reduction work, as far as network equipment is concerned, equipment manufacturers and operators are also paying more attention to the reducti...
