Setup > Green Ethernet
The
Green Ethernet Configuration
screen allows you to
enable energy-efficient Ethernet (EEE). EEE optimizes
power consumption by monitoring both port and
system power requirements, while minimizing energy
consumption. Green Ethernet ensures that the network
operation is not comprimised, while at the same time
maintaining a Green network.
This feature has been added to version 1.1 of SRW2048
and to version 1.3 of SRW2024 and SRW2016.
Setup > Green Ethernet
Energy Saving Mode
Indicates if Green Ethernet is
enabled on the device. The possible field values are:
Enable
Enables Green Ethernet on the device. This is
the default value.
Disable
Disables Green Ethernet on the device.
Energy Saving
Indicates the amount of energy conserved
by enabling Green Ethernet.
