Usage Guidelines
You can enable EEE on devices that support low power idle (LPI) mode. Such devices can save power by
entering LPI mode during periods of low utilization. In LPI mode, systems on both ends of the link can save
power by shutting down certain services. EEE provides the protocol needed to transition into and out of LPI
mode in a way that is transparent to upper layer protocols and applications.
The power efficient-ethernet auto command is available only if the interface is EEE capable. To check if
an interface is EEE capable, use the show eee capabilities EXEC command.
When EEE is enabled, the device advertises and autonegotiates EEE to its link partner. To view the current
EEE status for an interface, use the
show eee status EXEC command.
This command does not require a license.
Examples This example shows how to enable EEE for an interface:
Device(config-if)# power efficient-ethernet auto
Device(config-if)#
This example shows how to disable EEE for an interface:
Device(config-if)# no power efficient-ethernet auto
Device(config-if)#
