Question

How do I enable Energy Efficient Ethernet?

Answer

During periods of low data activity, Energy Efficient Ethernet allows for less power consumption by 50% or more while retaining full compatibility with existing equipment. By default Energy Efficient Ethernet is disabled in the SBG7580-AC. When Energy Ethernet Efficient is enabled the SBG7580-AC will consume less power during periods of low data activity.
