Configure Energy Efficient Ethernet on Interfaces
Learn how to configure EEE on interfaces. This topic also includes how to enable EEE on an EEE-Capable Base-T Copper Ethernet Port, disable EEE on a Base-T Copper Ethernet Port, and verify EEE-enabled ports.
Configure EEE only on EEE-capable Base-T copper Ethernet ports. If you configure EEE on unsupported ports, the console displays the message: “EEE not supported”.
This topic describes:
Enable EEE on an EEE-Capable Base-T Copper Ethernet Port
To enable EEE on an EEE-capable Base-T copper Ethernet interface:
[edit] user@switch# set interfaces interface-name ether-options ieee-802-3az-eee
You can view the EEE status by using the show interfaces
interface-name detail command.
Disable EEE on a Base-T Copper Ethernet Port
To disable EEE on a Base-T copper Ethernet interface:
[edit] user@switch# delete interfaces interface-name ether-options ieee-802-3az-eee
By default, EEE is disabled on EEE-capable ports.
Verify EEE-Enabled Ports
Purpose
Verify that enabling EEE saves energy on Base-T Copper Ethernet ports.
Action
You can see the amount of energy that is saved by EEE using the
show chassis
power-budget-statistics command.
