interface interface
• For a 1-GigabitEthernet interface, enter the keyword GigabitEthernet then the slot/port information.
• For a 10-Gigabit Ethernet interface, enter the keyword TenGigabitEthernet then the slot/port information.
2 Enable the interface.
INTERFACE mode
no shutdown
To conrm that the interface is enabled, use the show config command in INTERFACE mode. To leave INTERFACE mode, use the
exit command or end command. You cannot delete a physical interface.
Enabling Energy Ecient Ethernet
Energy Ecient 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 Ecient 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 specied port, or on a range of ports.
EXEC mode
EXEC PRIVILEGE mode
show interfaces eee
show interfaces interface-type slot/port eee
show interfaces interface-type slot/port-range eee
• List the statistical information of eee on all the interfaces, on a specied port, or on a range of ports.
