Remarks

Configured Configurable

Unconfigurable

On a port configured with the flow-control
command, you can enable PFC, but you

cannot enable PFC for specific 802.1p

priorities.

Enabling both generic flow control and PFC on

a port disables the port from sending common

or PFC pause frames to inform the peer of
congestion conditions. However, the port can

still handle common and PFC pause frames

from the peer.

Enabling energy saving features on an Ethernet interface

Enabling auto power-down on an Ethernet interface

IMPORTANT:

Fiber ports do not support this feature.

When the auto power-down feature is enabled on an interface and the interface has been down for a

certain period of time, both of the following events occur:

The switch automatically stops supplying power to the interface.

The interface enters the power save mode.

The time period depends on the chip specifications and is not configurable.
When the interface comes up, both of the following events occur:

The switch automatically restores power supply to the interface.

The interface enters its normal state.

To enable auto power-down on an Ethernet interface:

Enabling EEE energy saving for Ethernet interfaces in up state

IMPORTANT:

Fiber ports do not support this feature.

Ports that operate at 1000 Mbps on an LSWM2XGT8PM interface card do not support this feature.

With the Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE) energy saving feature, a link-up port enters the low power state

if it has not received any packet for a certain period of time. The time period depends on the chip
