enables configuring Green Ethernet on a port using the Edit Port Setting page. For the Green
Ethernet modes to operate on a port, the corresponding modes must be activated globally in
the Properties page.
EEE settings are only displayed for devices that have GE ports. EEE works only when ports
are set to Auto negotiation. The exception is that EEE is still functional even when Auto
Negotiation is disabled, but the port is at 1GB or higher.

disabled. On devices with FE or GE ports these features can be enabled or disabled.
To define per port Green Ethernet settings:
STEP 1 Click Port Management > Green Ethernet > Port Settings.
