Energy-Efficient Ethernet
This chapter provides the procedures to enable and disable the IEEE
802.3az Energy-Efficient Ethernet (EEE) feature.
EEE allows for less power consumption during periods of no data activity
to reduce overall power consumption, but still retains full network
performance.
When EEE is enabled, the power reduction results from putting the
circuitry driving the Ethernet line into Sleep mode when there is no data
activity. When data activity resumes, the Ethernet line circuitry wakes up
and resumes normal operation.
In this way, networking energy consumption can be reduced without
adversely affecting network performance.
This chapter contains the following sections:
