Auto Power Down mode is enabled globally, but you can disable it on a per-port basis for

ports g1–g4 (see

Manage and View the PoE Port Configuration on page

57

). You

cannot disable it for other ports. If Auto Power Down mode is enabled on a port and the
port link goes down, the physical layer (PHY) automatically shuts down for a short period
and wakes up to check link pulses. This mode reduces power consumption on a port if no
link partner is present.

Short Cable mode is enabled globally, but you can disable it on a per-port basis for ports
g1–g4 (see

Manage and View the PoE Port Configuration on page

57

). You cannot

disable it for other ports. If Short Cable mode is enabled on a port, and the cable length is
too short, the PHY enters low-power mode.

Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE) combines the MAC with a family of physical layers that
support operation in a low power mode. It is defined by IEEE 802.3az Energy Efficient
Task Force. Lower power mode enables both the send and receive sides of the link to
disable some functionality for power savings when lightly loaded. Transition to low power
mode does not change the link status. Frames in transit are not dropped or corrupted in
transition to and from low power mode. Transition time is transparent to upper layer
protocols and applications.
