The System Information page displays.
5. Select System > Management > Green Ethernet > Green Ethernet Configuration.
6. Select the Auto Power Down Mode Disable or Enable radio button.
By default, this mode is disabled. When a port link is down, the underlying physical layer
goes down for a short period and then checks for port link pulses again so that
auto-negotiation remains possible. In this way, the switch saves power when no link
partner is present for the port.
7. Select the EEE Mode Disable
or Enable radio button.
By default, this mode is disabled. Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE) combines the MAC with
a family of physical layers that support operation in a low power mode. It is defined by the
IEEE 802.3az standard. Lower power mode enables both the send and receive sides of
the link to disable some functionality for power savings when lightly loaded.
Transition to
low power mode does not change the link status. Frames in transit are not dropped or
corrupted in transition to and from low power mode.
Transition time is transparent to
upper layer protocols and applications.
8. Click the Apply button.
