1. A method, comprising:
determining, by a network device and based on a status or speed of an interface device (IFD) of the network device, an initial maximum bandwidth requirement (MBR) associated with the network device;
reducing, by the network device, a power level of the network device to be proportional to the initial MBR by powering off one or more components of the network device;
determining, by the network device and based on a configuration of an unused link of the network device, an updated MBR associated with the network device,
wherein the updated MBR is greater than the initial MBR; and
increasing, by the network device and based on the updated MBR, the power level of the network device.
