10G port on a N2000/N3000 series switch.

green-mode eee

Use the green-mode eee command in Interface Configuration mode to
enable EEE low power idle mode on an interface. The command enables both
send and receive sides of a link to disable some functionality for power savings
when lightly loaded. Transition to Low Power Mode does not change the link
status. Frames in transit are not dropped or corrupted in transition to and
from Low Power Mode.
On combo ports, eee mode can be enabled even if the port is using the fiber
interface. If enabled, eee mode is only active when the copper interface is
active.
Use the no form of the command to disable the feature.

User Guidelines
Cable diagnostics (show copper-ports commands) may give misleading
results if green mode is enabled on the port. Disable green mode prior to
running any cable diagnostics. EEE mode is supported on N4000 series 10G
copper ports and on N2000/N3000 1G and 10G copper interfaces.
