Resetting an Interface to its Factory Default State
You can reset the configurations applied on an interface to its factory default state. To reset the configuration, perform the following
steps:
1. View the configurations applied on an interface.
INTERFACE mode
show config
2. Reset an interface to its factory default state.

All the applied configurations are removed and the interface is set to the factory default state.
Enabling Energy Efficient Ethernet
Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE) is an IEEE 802.3 az standard that reduces power consumptions on Ethernet ports. EEE stops the
transmission when there is no data to be transmitted and resumes the transmission at the arrival of new packets. You can enable EEE only
on one Gigabit and ten Gigabit native or optional module copper ports.
1. To enable EEE, use the eee command.
INTERFACE mode
Dell(conf)# interface gigabitethernet 1/1
Dell(conf-if-gi-1/1)# eee
2. To disable EEE, use the no eee command.
INTERFACE mode
Dell(conf)# interface gigabitethernet 1/1
Dell(conf-if-gi-1/1)# no eee
View EEE Information
To view the details of Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE), you can use the following show commands.
You have several options for viewing the details of EEE on interfaces.
• List all the interfaces.
EXEC mode
EXEC PRIVILEGE mode
show interfaces
This command displays the status of each interface with various details along with the information whether EEE is enabled on the
interfaces..
• List the status of eee on all the interfaces, on a specified port, or on a range of ports.
