Manage Power Saving Options

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.
To manage the power saving options:
1. Connect your computer to the same network as the switch.
You can use a WiFi or wired network connection, or connect directly to a switch that is off-network using
an Ethernet cable.
2. Launch a web browser.
3. In the address field of your web browser, enter the IP address of the switch.
If you do not know the IP address of the switch, see
