GS308EP - turning off EEE

Hi 

Does anyone know if it's possible to turn off 'Energy Efficient Ethernet' on a GS308EP switch?

Thanks

    You can disable Power saving mode, the power saving mode enables the IEEE 802.3az Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE) function.

     

    You can disable this feature by going to the Settings and then go to Power Saving mode.

     

    From the menu at the top of the page, select SETTINGS.

    From the menu on the left, select POWER SAVING. The POWER SAVING pop-up window opens.

      Thanks Marc
      That’s great, it looks like it defaults out of the box to EEE off, so nothing to change.

    Curious what concerns or fears exist out there about 802.3az aka. EEE implementations in the real world?
