A method and device for controlling power consumption

Abstract

Embodiments of the application provide a power consumption control method and device which relate to the technical field of communication and are used in power consumption control for network equipment. The method is applied to network equipment comprising N single plates, and the N is greater than or equal to 2. The method comprises the following steps: if a power consumption parameter of the network equipment meets a preset condition, a target single plate having the highest priority is selected from M preset single plates according to turn-off priority information, wherein the turn-off priority information is used to indicate a turn-off priority of each of the M preset single plates, and M is less than or equal to the N; whether the target single plate has a standby single plate at a normal state is determined, and, if the fact that the standby single plate exists is determined, a service corresponding to the target single plate is transferred to the standby single plate; and turn-off processing is performed on the target single plate.

Description

technical field [0001] The embodiments of the present application relate to the field of communication technologies, and in particular, to a power consumption control method and device. Background technique [0002] In communication technology, with the increase of bandwidth capacity, the specifications of network equipment such as core network equipment, convergence switching equipment, and routing equipment are getting larger and larger, and power consumption is also increasing. Greater power consumption means greater power supply capacity and heat dissipation requirements. However, some central computer rooms cannot provide greater power supply capacity and heat dissipation capabilities. If the computer room is remodeled in a short period of time, it will bring greater cost pressure. However, in practical applications, these network devices usually do not reach the maximum power. Taking switches as an example, the working power consumption of data core switches is usually...

Problems solved by technology

However, due to the large differences between network devices and servers in terms of architecture and business layer, for example, the CPU power consumption of network devices only accounts for a small proportion (usually less than 10%) of the overall power consumption, while the CPU power consumption of servers Power consumption is a large percentage of overall power consumption (typically above 90%)

Therefore, the power consumption control method for servers cannot be applied to network equipment, and there is an urgent need for a power consumption control method applied to network equipment
