EEE (Energy Efficient Ethernet)
The Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE) is an IEEE 802.3az standard that is designed to reduce
power consumption in Ethernet networks during idle periods.
EEE can be enabled on devices that support low power idle (LPI) mode. Such devices can
save power by entering LPI mode during periods of low utilization. In LPI mode, systems
on both ends of the link can save power by shutting down certain services. EEE provides
the protocol needed to transition into and out of LPI mode in a way that is transparent to
upper layer protocols and applications.
Default Settings
All ports’ EEE states are disabled.
CLI Configuration
This command displays the current port
configurations.
power efficient-
ethernet auto
The command enables EEE on the specified
interface. When EEE is enabled, the device
advertises and auto negotiates EEE to its link
partner.
no power efficient-
ethernet auto
The command disables EEE on the specified
interface.
Example:
[DEVICE_NAME]#configure terminal
[DEVICE_NAME](config-if)#interface gigabitethernet1/0/1
[DEVICE_NAME](config-if)#power efficient-ethernet auto
[DEVICE_NAME](config-if)#no power efficient-ethernet auto
