Select the Auto Power Down mode Disable or Enable radio button. 

The factory default is Enable. When the port link is down, the PHY automatically goes 
down for short period of time, and then wakes up to check link pulses. This allows 
autonegotiation and power consumption saving when no link partner is present.

Select the EEE mode Disable or Enable radio button. 

Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE) combines the MAC with a family of PHYs 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.

Click the Apply button.

The updated configuration is sent to the switch. Configuration changes take effect 
immediately.
