By default, Energy Detect mode is enabled globally and on all ports.

switch. The switch automatically enters the low-power mode when energy on the
line is lost, and it resumes normal operation when energy is detected.
STEP 3 Click Apply. Your changes are saved to the Running Configuration.
Configuring Green Ethernet Port Settings
Use the Green Ethernet Port Settings page to view and configure Energy Detect
settings on individual ports.
NOTE Energy Detect port settings are overridden if the global settings are subsequently
changed (see Configuring Green Ethernet Properties).
To configure Green Ethernet port settings:
STEP 1 Click Port Management > Green Ethernet > Port Settings in the navigation
window.
The Settings page displays the following Energy Detect fields for each port:
• Admin—Indicates whether Energy Detect is enabled on the port.
• Operational—Indicates whether Energy Detect mode is currently
operational (“Enabled”) on the port.
• Reason—Indicates why the operational status is enabled or disabled.
The following reason may display when the Energy Detect operational status
is Enabled.
- No Energy Detected—No energy is detected on the link.
The following reasons might display when the Energy Detect operational
status is Disabled.
- Fiber—The administrative status might be active but the port is
functioning in fiber mode. (Green Ethernet functionality applies only to
copper ports.)
