EEE (Energy Efficient Ethernet)
The Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE) is an IEEE 802.3az standard that is designed to reduce power
consumption in Ethernet networks during idle periods.
EEE can be enabled 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.
Note: This feature is for Ethernet copper ports only.
Default Settings
All ports’ EEE states are disabled.

Command
Description
enable
show interface [IFNAME]
This command displays the current port configurations.
interface
power efficient-ethernet auto
The command enables EEE on the specified interface.
When EEE is enabled, the device advertises and auto
negotiates EEE to its link partner.
Example:
