WARNING:
Do not interrupt the network connection or power to the switch during the
reset process. Do not disconnect any Ethernet cables or power off the switch
until the reset process and switch reboot are complete.
Manage the Power Saving Mode
The power saving mode enables the IEEE 802.3az Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE) function, cable length
power saving, and link-up and link-down power saving:
• IEEE 802.3az. Combines the Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE) 802.3 MAC sublayer with the 100BASE-TX,
1000BASE-T, and 10GBASE-T physical layers to support operation in Low Power Idle (LPI) mode.
When LPI mode is enabled, systems on both sides of the link can disable portions of their functionality
and save power during periods of low link utilization.
• Short cable power saving. Dynamically detects and adjusts power that is required for the detected
cable length.
• Link-down power saving. Reduces the power consumption considerably when the network cable is
disconnected. When the network cable is reconnected, the switch detects an incoming signal and
restores normal power.
By default, the power saving mode is disabled.
To manage the power saving mode on the switch:
1. Open a web browser from a computer that is connected to the same network as the switch or to the
switch directly through an Ethernet cable.
2. Enter the IP address that is assigned to the switch.
The login page displays.
3. Enter the switch password.
The default password is password. The password is case-sensitive.
The HOME page displays.
4. From the menu at the top of the page, to the right of NETGEAR, click the three-dot icon and select
Power Saving.
The POWER SAVING page displays.
5. Enable or disable the power saving mode by clicking the button.
When the power saving mode is enabled, the button bar displays green.
(You do not need to click an APPLY button.)
