为了解决上述问题， 本发明实施例的应用环境如图 1所示， 由线路接口 板（简称线卡） 101和主控板 102组成， 线卡负责接入 Access Layer (接入交 换层）设备或 Core Layer (核心交换层）设备， 主控板负责线卡间的维护管 理与转发工作。 本发明的实施例提供的主控板和线卡都要釆用模块化设计， 均包括一电源管理模块、 一管理控制模块、 一电源供电模块、 一交换处理模 块和其他模块。 电源管理模块与管理控制模块的供电电源要与板上的业务电 源分开， 电源管理模块控制电源供电模块， 实现对本线卡或本主控板上业务 电源的开启与关闭。 可选的， 还可以在电源管理模块中分别为每个芯片的供 电电源提供开关控制。
主控板的管理控制模块与各线卡和其它主控板的管理控制模块以及电源 管理模块相连， 其中电源管理模块负责对单板的电源供电模块进行控制， 电 源管理模块可以任意关闭或开启所在单板的业务供电电源或单板上某一芯片 的供电电源， 其中电源管理模块和管理控制模块釆用独立电源， 与单板上其 他业务电源完全分开。 设备的电源管理策略由主控板的管理控制模块负责确 定（在存在多块主控板时， 由主用主控板的管理控制模块负责确定） ， 主控 板可以通过各单板的管理控制模块和电源管理模块控制电源供电模块对板上 电源进行控制， 可以关闭或开启单板的供电电源或单板上各模块或芯片的供 电电源， 主控板或主用主控板本身的供电电源不可被关闭， 各线卡上的管理 控制模块和电源管理模块也不可被关闭。
如图 2所示为本发明的实施例所提供的单板电源控制原理框图， 单板所 使用的电源包括两部分： 控制电源平面和业务电源平面， 控制电源平面负责 为单板的电源控制模块和管理控制模块供电， 业务电源平面负责为电源供电 模块供电。 釆用 48V直流供电， 控制电源平面釆用 48V-5V和 5V转 3.3V的 电源转换模块得到， 控制电源平面具有永不断电的性质， 保证对于单板的管 理与控制功能； 业务电源平面釆用 48V-12V得到公共源， 再由单板内的电源 供电模块转换成各芯片所需的电压， 电源供电模块接受电源管理模块的管理 与控制。 为保证电源管理模块的可靠性， 业务电源平面还需要提供给控制电 源平面一个备用的 5V 电源， 这样， 只要控制电源平面与业务电源平面任意 一平面无故障， 都能保证电源管理模块和管理控制模块的正常工作。
下面结合图 1所示的设备管理系统， 对本发明的实施例提供的一种设备 管理方法进行说明。
使用本发明的实施例提供的设备管理方法， 对单板进行电源管理的过程 如图 3所示， 包括：
步骤 301、 设置电源管理规则；
本发明实施例中， 需要根据一定的规则来决定是否需要开启或关闭某一 单板或单板上的芯片， 以实现节约耗能的目的。
本发明实施例中所述的单板包括： 线卡和备用主控板。 由于在同一系统 中可能同时存在多块主控板， 在正常工作时， 只有一块主控板负责对系统的 管理控制， 其他的主控板即为备用主控板。 但由于故障或轮换等原因， 需要 启动备用主控板， 由备用主控板继续对系统进行管理控制。
电源管理规则具体为根据接收到的上层指令开启或关闭相应的单板或单 板上的芯片， 如用户下指示关闭某一单板或某上的芯片。
电源管理规则还可以为在检测到切换信号时开启相应的单板或单板上的 芯片， 当发生主备切换时， 如果本设备在切换完成后作为备用设备， 则可以 关闭一部分单板或芯片， 以减少耗能； 如果本设备在切换完成后作为主用设 备， 则需要开启已关闭的单板或芯片， 以适应业务需要。
电源管理规则还可以为设置一启动时间， 在该启动时间内开启相应的单 板或单板上的芯片， 在该启动时间外关闭相应的单板或单板上的芯片。 考虑 到不同时段设备的工作压力不同， 可以将较忙的时间设置为一启动时间， 在 较闲的时间， 就可以关闭部分单板或单板上的芯片。
电源管理规则还可以为设置一启动门限和关闭门限， 在设备处理数据流 量到达该启动门限时启动相应的单板或单板上的芯片， 在设备处理数据流量 到达该关闭门限时， 关闭相应的单板或单板上的芯片。 同样是针对工作压力 不同的情况， 还可以根据数据流量判断当前的业务需求， 以达到实时调整， 在保证业务质量的情况下， 尽可能的节省耗能。 可选的， 还可以设置多级门 限， 每一级门限均对应一定数量的单板和芯片， 在数据流量到达某一门限后， 开启该门限对应的单板和芯片， 在数据流量下降到该门限下后， 关闭该门限 对应的单板和芯片。
电源管理规则可由主控板执行， 也可由单板执行。 具体的， 可以将单板 设置为三种工作模式：
1、 全功能模式；
2、 节电模式；
3、 关闭模式。
其中， 全功能模式下单板上的全部芯片都开启， 节电模式下单板上部分 芯片开启 （指定的芯片） ， 关闭模式是整个单板关闭， 即
以设备为以太网交换机为例进行说明， 如图 4所示， 是以太网交换机在 VRRP组网应用模式下节能工作模式框图， 交换机在 VRRP主备冗余模式下 低碳节能工作模式： 主设备为 SwitchA, 备设备为 SwitchB。 将 AL1至 ALN 的默认网关设定为 SwitchA, 则 SwitchA成为主用交换机， 负责数据的转发； 一旦 SwitchA失效， SwitchB立即启动切换， 成为主控。 SwitchB作为备设备， 在低碳节能模式下， 其主用主控根据一定的策略对控制的其他主控板或单板 进行电源管理， 比如在凌晨通信可靠性要求相对较低的时段关闭各单板的部 分或全部芯片的供电电源以降低功耗， 节约大量电能， 如在此时段主用设备 出现异常， 立即启动备用设备上被关闭的电源， 并切换主备设备。 和 VRRP 主备热备份相比， 交换机产品在节能模式下也可做到随时切换主备设备， 只 是切换时间会有所延长， 对于通信可靠性要求相对较低的领域或时间段， 如 釆用具有节能工作模式的交换机并有针对性的釆取节能策略， 在不影响系统 主要可靠性要求的前提下， 平均使用功耗会大大降低， 既增加了节能环保的 特性， 又降低了交换机产品的使用成本。
交换机在 VRRP主备互相冗余备份模式下低碳节能工作模式： SwitchA、
SwitchB同时属于互为备份的两个 VRRP组： 在组 1中 SwitchA为 IP地址所 有者； 组 2中 SwitchB为 IP地址所有者。 将 AL1至 AL ( N/2-1 )的默认网关 设定为 SwitchA; AL ( N/2+1 )至 ALN的默认网关设定为 SwitchB。 由于交换 机釆取主备互相冗余备份，可釆取根据交换机业务流量进行节能降耗的策略。 如当业务流量带宽低于交换机总带宽的 50%的情况下， 可釆取一定策略关闭 某一台交换机的部分或全部单板的板上芯片电源， 如该应用领域也具有时间 敏感的可靠性要求， 在策略中也可综合时间信息以保证系统的最大可靠性， 可以方便的在系统可靠性和系统效率之间做权衡， 以达到最优工作模式。
步骤 302、 根据预置的电源管理规则， 确定当前设备中各单板的供电策 略；
本步骤中， 主控板控制模块实时监测设备的工作状态， 根据步骤 301设 置的电源管理规则， 确定当前设备中各单板的供电策略， 通知给各单板的控 制模块。 各单板的控制模块来完成。
