Invalid Signature Counter—Number of times an invalid signature was 
received. Signatures are the means by which the powered device identifies 
itself to the PSE. A signature is generated during powered device detection, 
classification, or maintenance.

Green Ethernet
The switch provides a Green Ethernet power saving feature on gigabit Ethernet 
copper ports called Energy Detect Mode. This feature helps reduce chip power 
by forcing a port PHY into a low-power mode when the signal from a copper link 
partner is not present. (PHY is an abbreviation for the physical layer of the OSI 
model.)
When the Energy Detect is enabled, the switch automatically enters the low-
power mode when energy on the line is lost, and it resumes normal operation 
when energy is detected. When the port PHY is in low-power mode, the PHY 
wakes up after a certain period of time, and sends link pulses to monitor for energy 
from the link partner. If energy is detected while the port is in wake-up mode, the 
switch returns the port to normal operation. When the wake-up period expires, the 
port returns to low-power mode. 
Energy Detect works whether the port has autonegotiation enabled or disabled, 
and can be enabled or disabled by the administrator. The Energy Detect Mode 
properties are configurable per-port.
See the following topics for more information on the configuration pages available 
in the Port Management > Green Ethernet menu:
Configuring Green Ethernet Properties
You can use the Green Ethernet Properties page to enable Green Ethernet 
functionality globally. The global settings are applied to all ports. 
NOTE
You can override the global settings by configuring these features on individual 
ports (see 
); however, changes you 
subsequently make to the global settings override any custom port configuration.
