Power Saving Mode (ACX7100-48L, ACX7100-32CD)

In addition to "Normal" mode, support is provided to enable and disable "Power Saving" mode in ACX7100-48L and ACX7100-32CD, using command set interfaces interface-range”. Please note:

  • A system-reboot is mandatory after enabling this configuration.
  • ACX device has two cores, each core can handle 2.4T traffic, 4.8T in total. Only half of the interfaces are available in power saving mode. In power saving mode, only one core is available and can only work on 2.4T mode. It is recommended to configure this mode on core1 ports only.
  • Upto 48 W power can be saved by enabling power saving mode.

Enabling Power Saving Mode

To enable power saving mode:
  1. At the [edit chassis] hierarchy level, configure the set interfaces interface-range powersaving commands indicating the ports or member-range. You can also configure power saving mode for unused ports. For example:
  2. Reboot the system.
Note:

  • If PTP (Precision Time Protocol) is enabled on the last port (47 or 31 depending on the device) in member-range, the interface range unused option cannot be configured. The sample configuration varies for each platform. If PTP is enabled on an unused port, an error message is displayed.

  • It is recommended to configure power saving mode on core1 ports.

Disabling Power Saving Mode

  1. At the [edit chassis] hierarchy level, remove the set interfaces interface-range powersaving commands indicating the ports or member-range. For example:
  2. Reboot the system.
