Green Ethernet Commands 471
User Guidelines
Cable diagnostics (show copper-ports commands) may give misleading
results if green mode is enabled on the port. Disable green mode prior to
running any cable diagnostics. EEE and energy-detect modes are only
supported on PC81xx 10G ports. Energy-detect mode is always enabled on
PC81xx 10G ports and cannot be configured. An error message (Unable to
set energy-detect mode) will be displayed if the user attempts to
configure energy-detect on a 10G port.
green-mode eee
Use the green-mode eee command in Interface Configuration mode to
enable EEE low power idle mode on an interface. The command enables both
send and receive sides of a 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.
On combo ports, eee mode can be enabled even if the port is using the fiber
interface. If enabled, eee mode is only active when the copper interface is
active.
Use the no form of the command to disable the feature.
