Energy saving method of network equipment, apparatus thereof and equipment

Abstract

The invention provides an energy saving method of network equipment, an apparatus thereof and equipment. The method comprises the following steps: inquiring a port register of each port of the network equipment and acquiring on-position information of the port from the port register; and if the obtained on-position information shows that the port is not on a position, closing an internal channel connected with the port. The apparatus comprises an inquiry module used for inquiring the port register of each port of the network equipment and acquiring the on-position information of the port from the port register, and a closure module used for closing the internal channel with the port if the obtained on-position information shows that the port is not on the position. The network equipment comprises the above apparatus. Terminal equipment comprises an on-position characteristic circuit. When the terminal equipment is connected with the port of the network equipment, the on-position characteristic circuit and an on-position detection circuit of the network equipment form a closed loop. According to a scheme provided by the invention, on the basis of reducing software resource consumption, energy saving of the network equipment is realized simply and conveniently.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to energy-saving technology, in particular to an energy-saving method, device and equipment for network equipment. Background technique [0002] With the continuous development of high-speed Ethernet technology in recent years, switched Ethernet with a switch as the core structure has been widely used. To put it simply, switched Ethernet is a high-speed Ethernet that uses switches for data forwarding. Into the three layers, such as figure 1 A schematic diagram of a switched Ethernet structure provided by the prior art is shown. Switched Ethernet allows transmission between different users, and each personal computer (Personal Computer, referred to as: PC), portable computer, tablet computer, palmtop computer (Personal Digital Assistant, referred to as: PDA) connected to the network Wireless access point (Access Point, referred to as: AP) or other data terminal equipment (Data Terminal Equipment, referred to as: DTE), etc., can ...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

For the first solution, it needs to occupy a large amount of software resources. In actual application, the more complex and perfect the management of network equipment is, the larger the software resources will be relatively occupied.

For the second solution, the energy-saving management is completed independently by each chip. Due to different chip suppliers, the energy-saving management of each chip will also have certain differences. Considering the differences between the Ethernet topology and network equipment difference, this solution is not enough to solve the common compatibility problems in practical applications
