To configure the Green Ethernet Interface feature:
1. Click on the interface settings for a physical port. Select the following parameters:
• Go To Interface - Enter the Port in unit/slot/port format and click on the Go button.
The entry corresponding to the specified port will be selected.
• Port - Selects the interface for which data is to be displayed or configured.
• Auto Power Down Mode - This object determines whether or not auto power down
mode from green feature is enabled for particular port. The factory default is disable.
When the port link is down the PHY will automatically go down for short period of
time, and then wake up to check link pulses. This will allow performing
auto-negotiation and saving power consumption when no link partner is present.
• Short Cable Mode - This object determines whether or not short cable mode from
green feature is enabled for particular port. The factory default is disable. When the
port link up at 1 Gbps speed, the cable length test is performed and if the length of the
cable is less than 10m, PHYs are put into low power mode so enough power is used
to support a short cable. The EEE and the Short Cable modes are not supposed to be
active simultaneously.
