Green Technology Features For information about configuring Green Technology features, see "Port Characteristics" on page 625. Energy Detect Mode When the Energy Detect mode is enabled and the port link is down, the PHY automatically goes down for short period of time and then wakes up periodically to check link pulses. This mode reduces power consumption on the port when no link partner is present. Energy Detect is proprietary and operates independently from EEE. Energy Efficient Ethernet Dell Networking switches support IEEE 802.3az Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE) Lower Power Idle Mode on front panel copper ports, which enables both the send and receive sides of the link to disable some functionality for power savings when the link is lightly loaded. EEE is standardized by the IEEE and operates independently of Energy Detect. EEE requires autonegotiation to be enabled. Setting a port to a forced speed disables EEE. EEE and Energy Detect are supported on the Dell Networking N1108EP-ON and N3200-ON Series 1G copper ports. EEE is supported on Gigabit Ethernet ports 1-8 on the N1108 Series switches. EEE is supported on Gigabit Ethernet ports 1-17 on the N1524 and Gigabit Ethernet ports 9-41 on the N1548. Energy detect is supported on all Gigabit Ethernet ports on the N1108EP-ON and N1500 Series switches. EEE and Energy Detect are enabled by default on the N-Series copper ports. Neither Energy Detect nor EEE are supported on out-of-band, 2.5G or 5G NBASE-T ports. Power Utilization Reporting The switch displays the current power consumption of the power supply (or power supplies). This information is available from the management interface.
