Embodiment 1

[0018] see figure 1 , a kind of switch that can reduce Ethernet energy consumption, comprises power supply, processor, exchange control module, Ethernet physical layer transceiver and network port, and described processor controls and controls power supply and exchange control module to work, and described power supply is Ethernet The network physical layer transceiver is powered, and the exchange control module is connected with the Ethernet physical layer transceiver to control the exchange of Ethernet signals. The Ethernet physical layer transceiver is connected with the network port, thereby supplying power for the network port and connecting with the network port The Ethernet signal is transmitted; the network port feeds back a signal to the processor whether it is working, and the processor controls the power supply after receiving the signal from the network port to power off or supply power to the Ethernet physical layer transceiver. That is, the processor monitors the...

Embodiment 2

[0021] see figure 2 , a method for reducing energy consumption of the aforementioned switch that can reduce Ethernet energy consumption, comprising the following steps: when the switch control module is working normally, the processor detects the network port in real time; if it detects that the network port has data transmission, Then start the power supply to the Ethernet physical layer transceiver; if it is detected that the network port has no data transmission, then suspend the power supply to the Ethernet physical layer transceiver. During the entire working process of the Ethernet switch, the processor continuously detects the network ports.

[0022] In the above steps, the processor usually detects the voltage of the network port in real time. When the processor monitors the voltage of the network port and monitors that the voltage of the network port is 3.6V, it means that the network port has data transmission; When the voltage of the network port is 0V, it means t...

Abstract

The invention discloses a switch capable of reducing the energy consumption of the Ethernet. The switch comprises a power supply, a processor, a switching control module, an Ethernet physical layer transceiver and a network port, the processor controls the power supply and the switching control module to work, the power supply provides power for the Ethernet physical layer transceiver, the switching control module is connected with the Ethernet physical layer transceiver, and the Ethernet physical layer transceiver is connected with the network port; and the network port feeds back a signal indicating whether to work or not to the processor, and the processor controls the power supply to perform power- off or power-on processing on the Ethernet physical layer transceiver after receiving asignal sent by the network port. The invention further discloses a method for reducing energy consumption for the switch capable of reducing the energy consumption of the Ethernet. By adoption of themethod disclosed by the invention, the energy consumption during the use of the Ethernet switch is reduced.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of network switches, in particular to a method for reducing energy consumption of switches capable of reducing Ethernet energy consumption. Background technique [0002] With the development of science and technology, the speed of communication equipment is increasing rapidly, and the power consumption of communication products is also gradually increasing. The energy consumed by network switches and other switching equipment accounts for more than 10% of the energy consumption of the entire network system. But typical Ethernet traffic is characterized by low average connection utilization, which means that network switches consume energy that is worthless most of the time. The currently used network consumes a lot of energy and cannot achieve the purpose of saving energy. Contents of the invention [0003] The technical problem solved by the invention is to provide a network switch to solve the technica...
