Enabling Energy Efficient Ethernet

Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE) is supported on select ICX devices and can be enabled globally or per port. Follow these steps to enable EEE globally or per port, including in an SPX environment.
  1. Enter global configuration mode. 
    device# configure terminal
  2. Enter the eee command to enable EEE globally. 
    device(config)# eee
EEE Feature Enabled
  3. Enter the interface command, specifying an interface, to enter interface configuration mode for the specified interface. 
    device(config)# interface ethernet 1/1/1
  4. Enter the eee command to enable EEE for the interface. 
    device(config-if-e1000-1/1/1)# eee
EEE Feature Enabled on port 1/1/1
  5. (Optional) Enter the show spx command to display EEE statistics. 
    device(config)# show spx
