Version Description

Usage Information EEE is an IEEE 802.3 az standard that reduces power consumptions on Ethernet ports. When EEE is enabled,
transmission is stopped when there is no data to be transmitted and is resumed on arrival of new packets. You can
enable EEE only on on 1-Gigabit and 10-Gigabit native copper ports. On a TAA (Trade Agreements Act) compliant
system, EEE is enabled by default.
Example To enable EEE:
Dell(conf)# interface TenGigabitEthernet 0/0
Dell(conf-if-te-0/0)# eee
To disable EEE:
Dell(conf)# interface TenGigabitEthernet 0/0
Dell(conf-if-te-0/0)# no eee
