Turning Off EEE on GS108Ev3
Hello, I need to disable EEE feature from the switch but I do not see any option that does this. It seems like manual specifying the product comes with this feature but this document excludes GS...
Everything I read there is a "no". In German people say "Der Weg des geringsten Widerstandes." ... the easy way, easily, with no special hardships, without any great effort. When you carefully read the text and the the attached file with known incompatible unmanaged switches, it mentions two points:
"Although power management should be negotiated automatically in switches that support EEE, it is a
relatively new technology, and some switches do not perform the negotiation properly. This may cause EEE
to be enabled in Dante networks when it is not appropriate, resulting in poor synchronization performance
and occasional dropouts. ""..... It is the responsibility of the user to verify switch compatibility."
There you go. Run your tests, ....
Netgear has bunches of switches validated and tested, for many audio and video applications. The newer M4250 Switch Series comes with ready to deploy predefined profiles for audio Dante, Q-SYS and AES67 profiles are available, as well as an AVB profile requiring an
AVB license sold separately. For video the M4250 offers profiles for NVX, AMX, Q-SYS, NDI, Dante etc. as well as audio/video/control mixed profiles. Note: There is much more - especially around the IGMP Multicast handling - required for these use cases.
The switch is being used for pro level audio equipments. Please refer to below:
Why oh why one does need this? The complete EEE is part of the IEEE 802.3az standard, specifying a signaling protocol, Low Power Idle (LPI) for achieving the power saving during the idle time of Ethernet links. EEE allows PHYs to exchange LPI indications to signal the transition to low power mode when there is no traffic. LPI indicates when a link can go idle and when the link needs to resume after a predefined delay without impacting data transmission.

Thank you for all the detail sir.
