IEEE 802.3az EEE

Enable IEEE 802.3az Power Saving Mode

System > IEEE 802.3az EEE

The IEEE 802.3 EEE standard defines mechanisms and protocols intended to reduce the

energy consumption of network links during periods of low utilization, by transitioning

interfaces into a low-power state without interrupting the network connection. The

transmitted and received sides should be IEEE802.3az EEE compliance. By default, the

switch disabled the IEEE 802.3az EEE function. Users can enable this feature via the

IEEE802.3az EEE setting page.

1. Log into your switch management page (see “Access your switch management page”

on page 5).

2. Click on Tools and click on IEEE 802.3az EEE.

3. Click the IEEE 802.3az EEE Status drop-down list and select Enabled to enable the

power saving feature and click Apply to save the settings.

4. At the bottom of the left hand panel, click Save.

5. Select the Config you would like to save the settings to, then click Save Settings to

Flash.

Note: This step saves all configuration changes to the NV-RAM to ensure that if the

switch is rebooted or power cycled, the configuration changes will still be applied.
