config power_saving

Each command is listed, in detail, in the following sections.
config power_saving
Purpose
To set the global state of power saving.
Syntax
config power_saving state [enable | disable]
Description
This command is used to configure the power saving for the system. By default, the
power saving mode is enabled. The power saving function applies to the ports with
copper media.
The power is saved by the following mechanisms. When the port has no link partner,
the port automatically turns off and wakes up once a second to send a single link
pulse. When the port is turned off, a simple receive energy-detect circuit is
continuously monitoring energy on the cable. At the moment when energy is
detected, the port turns on fully per IEEE specification requirements. The power
saving function is performed while no link is detected and it will not effect the port
capabilities while it is link up.
Parameters
state
- Configure the power saving state to enable or disable.
enable
- Enable the power saving feature.
disable
- Disable the power saving feature.
Restrictions
Only Administrator-level users can issue this command.
