Green Ethernet Interface Configuration

Using the Green Ethernet Interface Configuration feature allows for proper port configuration

and the ability to enable or disable the Auto Power Down, Short Cable, and EEE Modes on

specific ports.

 To configure the Green Ethernet Interface feature:

1. Select System  Management  Green Ethernet  Green Ethernet Interface

Configuration.

The following screen displays:

2. Select the following interface settings for the physical port:

• Go To Interface. Enter a port identifier (appears in the Port column) and click the Go

button.

The table entry corresponding to the specified port is selected.

• Port. Selects the interface for which data is displayed or configured.

• Auto Power Down Mode. Determines whether Auto Power Down mode is enabled

for the port. The factory default is Disable. When the port link is down, the PHY

automatically goes down for a short period and wakes up to check link pulses. This

mode allows automatic negotiation and reduces power consumption when no link

partner is present.

• Short Cable Mode. Determines whether Short Cable mode is enabled for the port.

The factory default is Disable. When the port link up at 1 Gbps, the cable length test is

performed. If the length of the cable is less than 10 meters, PHYs are put into

low-power mode so enough power is used to support a short cable. Do not enable

both EEE and Short Cable modes for a port.

• EEE Mode. Determines whether Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE) mode is enabled for

the port. Do not enable both EEE and Short Cable modes for a port.

3. Click APPLY to apply the change to the system.
