Manage Power Saving Options

Note: Power saving options are available on models GS105Ev2, GS105PE,
GS116Ev2, JGS516PE, JGS524Ev2, and JGS524PE.
Depending on the power saving options that your switch model provides, you can manage
the IEEE 802.3az Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE) function, cable length power saving, or
link-up and link-down power saving, or a combination of these features:
• Short Cable Power Saving. Dynamically detects and adjusts power that is required for
the detected cable length.
• Link-Down Power Saving. Reduces the power consumption considerably when the
network cable is disconnected. When the network cable is reconnected, the switch
detects an incoming signal and restores normal power.
• EEE. Combines the Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE) 802.3 MAC sublayer with the
100BASE-TX and 1000BASE-T physical layers to support operation in Low Power Idle
(LPI) mode. When LPI mode is enabled, systems on both sides of the link can disable
portions of their functionality and save power during periods of low link utilization.
