Abstract

See full text

The technology described herein is directed towards intelligently controlling the power consumed by light emitting diodes (LEDs) of network devices, such as present in a datacenter. An internal device agent, application and/or centralized monitoring system can determine when to activate and deactivate LEDs, such as to activate when a group of devices is likely being observed, and deactivate otherwise. Devices can be grouped for collective control, such as a group per rack of network devices with their LEDs activated and deactivated together. Sensors, such as rack cabinet door sensors, motion sensors and so on can be used to detect whether a group of devices is likely being observed; an action such as closing the door or walking away can be sensed to deactivate the LEDs. After LED activation, expiration of a configurable timer can be used to deactivate the LEDs. Significant power savings are thus achievable in various network scenarios.
