Zusammenfassung:	Methods and systems are provided for managing power consumption in network devices. In a network device that may comprise a plurality of ports, each of which being identified by a unique identifier and being adapted to handle separate network traffic, it may be determined whether a first port of the network device may need to be reactivated, where the first port may have been previously shut down by directing of traffic corresponding to the first port, through a virtual port generated on a second port. When the first port is to be reactivated, the virtual port may be turned off, and the first port may then be reactivated. Traffic being routed through the virtual port may be routed before shutting it down; and the paused traffic to and from the network device may be resumed through the first port after it is reactivated.
