Abstract
A network management/apparatus connected to a plurality of packet relay apparatuses constituting a group through a network includes an energy saving level calculation unit for calculating an energy saving level of each of the packet relay apparatuses on the basis of a CPU usage ratio of the packet relay apparatus managed or a difference between the present energy saving level and the energy saving level of minimum guarantee of the packet relay apparatus, and an energy saving function setting unit for setting an energy saving function of the packet relay apparatuses on the basis of the energy saving level calculated by the energy saving level calculation unit.
Claims10
A network management apparatus connected to a plurality of packet relay apparatuses constituting a group through a network, comprising:
- an energy saving level management table for holding the combination of operation modes of a plurality of energy saving functions provided to said packet relay apparatuses and energy saving levels in association with one another;
- an apparatus information acquisition unit for acquiring a CPU usage ratio of said packet relay apparatuses in said group unit;
- an energy saving level calculation unit for calculating an energy saving level of said packet relay apparatuses constituting said group on the basis of said CPU usage ratio acquired by said apparatus information acquisition unit;
- and
- an energy saving function setting unit for setting an energy saving function of said packet relay apparatuses on the basis of said energy saving level calculated by said energy saving level calculation unit.
A network management/apparatus connected to a plurality of packet relay apparatuses constituting a group through a network, comprising:
- an energy saving level management table for holding the combination of operation modes of a plurality of energy saving functions provided to said packet relay apparatuses and energy saving levels in association with one another;
- an apparatus management table for managing the present energy saving level of said packet relay apparatus and an energy saving level of minimum guarantee;
- an energy saving level calculation unit for calculating a difference between the present energy saving level and the energy saving level of the minimum guarantee for each of said packet relay apparatuses constituting said group by looking up said apparatus management table, and calculating an energy saving level of said packet relay apparatuses constituting said group on the basis of said difference;
- and
- an energy saving function setting unit for setting the energy saving function of said packet relay apparatuses on the basis of said energy saving level calculated by said energy saving level calculation unit.
