ecofriendly lpi

Use this command to conserve power by enabling the eco-friendly LPI (Low Power Idle)
feature. This feature reduces the power supplied to the ports by the switch whenever the
ports are idle and are connected to IEEE 802.3az Energy Efficient Ethernet compliant host
devices. See the section

“Save Power With the Eco-Friendly Feature” on page 1.32

.

LPI is a feature of the IEEE 802.3az Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE) standard. LPI lowers
power consumption of switch ports during periods of low link utilization when connected
to IEEE 802.3az compliant host devices. If no data is sent then the switch port can enter a
sleep state, called Low Power Idle (LPI), to conserve power used by the switch.

Use the no variant of this command to disable the eco-friendly LPI feature.
