Green Technology Features
For information about configuring Green Technology features, see
"Configuring Port Characteristics" on page 457.
Energy Detect Mode
When the Energy Detect mode is enabled and the port link is down, the PHY
automatically goes down for short period of time and then wakes up to check
link pulses. This mode reduces power consumption on the port when no link
partner is present.
Energy Efficient Ethernet
The switch supports the IEEE 802.3az Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE)
Lower Power Idle Mode, which enables both the send and receive sides of the
link to disable some functionality for power savings when the link is lightly
loaded.
Power Utilization Reporting
The switch displays the current power consumption of the power supply (or
power supplies). This information is available from the management
interface.
