A network device may receive traffic to be processed by a routing component, and may determine temperatures of an ASIC and an HBM of the routing component at a first time. The network device may determine whether the temperature of the ASIC satisfies a first ASIC temperature threshold or a second ASIC temperature threshold, and may determine whether the temperature of the HBM satisfies a first HBM temperature threshold or a second HBM temperature threshold. The network device may selectively throttle processing of the traffic by a first quantity when the temperature of the ASIC satisfies the first ASIC temperature threshold or the temperature of the HBM satisfies the first HBM temperature threshold, or throttle the processing of the traffic by a second quantity when the temperature of the ASIC satisfies the second ASIC temperature threshold or the temperature of the HBM satisfies the second HBM temperature threshold.

The disclosed system may include (1) a modular port concentrator that connects as a modular line card within a router to forward network packets, (2) a profile module, stored in memory, that stores an allowed port configuration profile that defines supported port configurations for the modular port concentrator, (3) a configuration module, stored in memory, that receives an attempted port configuration for the modular line card, (4) an enforcement module, stored in memory, that enforces the allowed port configuration profile by taking remedial action in response to determining that the allowed port configuration profile does not allow the attempted port configuration, and (5) at least one physical processor configured to execute the modular port concentrator, the profile module, the configuration module, and the enforcement module. Various other systems and methods are also disclosed.
