Green Ethernet Interface Configuration
For platforms that include Green Energy features, the Green Ethernet Interface Configuration page is
used to configure per-port Green Ethernet settings. Only interfaces that are capable of supporting
Green Ethernet modes appear in the table. To configure the settings for one or more interfaces, select
each interface to configure and click Edit. The same settings are applied to all selected interfaces.

Table 122: Green Ethernet Interface Configuration Fields
Field
Description
Interface
The interface associated with the rest of the data in the row. When configuring
the settings for one or more interfaces, this field identifies the interfaces being
configured.
Energy Detection
The administrative status of Energy Detect mode on the interface. When the
Energy Detect mode is enabled and a port link is down, the
automatically
goes down for short period of time and then wakes up to check link pulses. This
mode reduces power consumption on the port when no link partner is present.
Energy Detection Status
The current operational state of Energy Detect mode – either Active or Inactive.
EEE Low Power Idle
The administrative mode of LPI (Low-Power Idle) on the interface. LPI can
reduce power consumption on the interface during periods where no traffic is
present on the interface. Enabling this mode does not affect link status and
should not cause traffic loss. Note that LPI mode is available only if the interface
Physical Mode is Auto Negotiate.
EEE Idle Time
The amount of time allowed for the interface to move to an LPI state.
EEE Wake Time
The system wake time that the interface transmits when it is enabled for EEE
(Energy Efficient Ethernet). The wake time is the amount of time allowed to
wake up from the low-power state that occurs when no data is transmitted.

Green Ethernet Local Interface Status
For platforms that include Green Energy features, the Green Ethernet Local Interface Status page shows
information that each EEE (Energy Efficient Ethernet)-enabled interface transmits in the
s to its link partner (the remote system). The TLVs are defined in the IEEE 802.1AB
standard and provide information about the capabilities of the local device.
