connect directly to a switch that is of
f-network using an Ethernet cable.
2. Launch a web browser.
3. In the address field of your web browser, enter the IP address of the switch.

6. Select System > Management > Green Ethernet > Green Ethernet Configuration.
7. 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.
