Method and apparatus for adjusting running status of network device and related device

A method for adjusting a running status of a network device, wherein the method comprises:

• sending, by a second network device, first traffic information to a first network device, wherein the first traffic information indicates a value of traffic processed by the second network device in a first time period;
• receiving, by the second network device, a target energy saving policy sent by the first network device, wherein the target energy saving policy is determined by the first network device based on second traffic information, the second traffic information is traffic that corresponds to the second network device in a second time period and that is predicted by the first network device based on the first traffic information, the second time period is later than the first time period, the target energy saving policy comprises a configuration parameter corresponding to a component in the second network device when the component in the second network device is run based on the target energy saving policy, and energy consumption corresponding to the target energy saving policy meets a preset condition;
• and
• applying, by the second network device, the configuration parameter corresponding to the target energy saving policy.

An apparatus for adjusting a running status of a network device, wherein the apparatus is used in a first network device and comprises:

• at least one processor;
• and
• a memory, coupled to the at least one processor and configured to store instructions that when executed by the at least one processor cause the apparatus to:
• receive first traffic information sent by a second network device, wherein the first traffic information indicates a value of traffic processed by the second network device in a first time period;
• predict, based on the first traffic information, second traffic information corresponding to the second network device in a second time period, wherein the second time period is later than the first time period;
• determine, based on the second traffic information, an energy consumption value corresponding to each of a plurality of energy saving policies, wherein each energy saving policy comprises a configuration parameter corresponding to a component in the second network device when the component in the second network device is run based on the energy saving policy, and
• determine, as a target energy saving policy, an energy saving policy corresponding to an energy consumption value that meets a preset condition;
• and
• send the target energy saving policy to the second network device, to enable the second network device to be run based on a configuration parameter in the target energy saving policy.
