Cisco Catalyst 2960-X - Default EEE Configuration; Restrictions for EEE; How to Configure EEE; Enabling or Disabling EEE

Default EEE Configuration
EEE is disabled by default.
Restrictions for EEE
EEE has the following restrictions:
•
Changing the EEE configuration resets the interface because the device has to restart Layer 1
autonegotiation.
•
You might want to enable the Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) for devices that require longer
wakeup times before they are able to accept data on their receive paths. Doing so enables the device to
negotiate for extended system wakeup times from the transmitting link partner.
How to Configure EEE
You can enable or disable EEE on an interface that is connected to an EEE-capable link partner.
