Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE) is supported on select Brocade devices and can be enabled globally or per port.

Follow these steps to enable EEE globally or per port.

  1. Enter global configuration mode.
  2. Enter the eee command. The following example shows enabling EEE globally.
    device(config)# eee

  3. To enable EEE from the interface mode, enter the eee command.
    device(config)# interface ehternet 1/1/1
    device(config-if-e1000-1/1/1)# eee
    EEE Feature Enabled on port 1/1/1
