Green Ethernet Configuration
Use this page to configure Green Ethernet features. Using the Green Ethernet features
allows for power consumption savings.
To access this page, click System  Management  Green Ethernet Configuration.
To configure the Green Ethernet feature:
1. Enable or disable the Auto Power Down Mode.
• Enable. When the port link is down, the PHY will automatically go down for a short
period of time and then wake up to check link pulses. This allows the port to continue
to perform auto-negotiation while consuming less power when no link partner is
present.
• Disable. Provide full power to the PHY even if no link partner is present.
2. Click Apply to send the updated configuration to the switch. Configuration changes take
effect immediately.
