Enable EEE (well atleast I would Like to :)

I am trying to enable EEE mode but get this error on any port I try to enable?  Nothing useful about "backpressure" anywhere.  Advice?

  • Ok so Global Flow Control (IEEE 802.3x) Mode AKA is known as Back Pressure.  I turned it off and not I can turn on EEE.  Is this inability to run both becuase it is an older switch?  Is one option better?  I have much newer switched but really like this switch.  She is my old reliable.

      brk4eva,

       

      Ok so Global Flow Control (IEEE 802.3x) Mode AKA is known as Back Pressure.  I turned it off and not I can turn on EEE.  

      Just to verify. What you are trying to say is you were able to turn on EEE after you turned off Global Flow Control (IEEE 802.3x) Mode, am I right?  

       

      What is the current firmware version of your GS516TP? 

       

       

      Regards,
