mode is always enabled on N4000 series 10G ports and cannot be disabled. An
error message (Unable to set energy-detect mode) will be
displayed if the user attempts to configure energy-detect on a 10G port on a
N1500/N2000/N3000 series switch.
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.

User Guidelines
This command is available in Ethernet interface configuration mode. 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 mode is supported on N4000 series 10G copper ports
and on N1500/N2000/N3000 1G and 10G copper interfaces.
