cable diagnostics. EEE mode is supported on N4000 series 10G copper ports
and on N1100-ON/N1500/N2000/N2100-ON/N3000/N3100-ON 1G copper
interfaces.
green-mode eee { tx-idle-time | tx-wake-time}
Use the green-mode eee {tx-idle-time | tx_wake-time} command in
Interface Configuration mode to control the transmit idle and wake time
parameters on an interface.
Use the no form of the command to return the configuration to the default.
Syntax
green-mode eee tx-idle-time <600-4294967295>
green-mode eee tx-wake-time <0-65535>
no green-mode eee {tx-idle-time|tx-wake-time}
Default Configuration
By default, the transmit idle time is 600 micro-seconds and the transmit wake
time is 8 micro-seconds.
Command Mode
Interface Configuration mode, Interface Range Configuration mode
User Guidelines
The tx-idle-time parameter sets the amount of time the link must be idle
before transitioning to the low power idle state. The tx-wake-time configures
the delay before transitioning to the active state (and transmitting the
pending packet) after transmitting a wake symbol to the link partner. The
transmit idle time and transmit wake time are configured in micro-seconds.
The default values are recommended unless there is good reason to adjust
them. Excessive wake times may cause link congestion. Excessive idle times
will reduce the savings from low power idle mode.
