Add option to disable Energy Efficient Ethernet in firmware

Status: New Idea Submitted by Follower on ‎2022-01-26 05:54 PM

The GS105E v2 (5 port) and GS116E v2 (16 port) switches have the ability to disable Energy Efficient Ethernet (IEEE 802.3az) in the web interface via:

System > Management > Power Saving Mode, Enable/Disable

 

This option is missing from the GS108E v3 (8 port) switch.

 

Can this be addressed in a future firmware update?

Well possible the switch chip might not allow this.

 

Reality check: What's the point to for disabling 802.3az in the year 2022?

Is there a possibility to have an option for enabling/disabling Energy Efficient in the firmware? (like GS105E) 

Dante protocol is not compatible with EEE.

Theoreticaly it is possible, BCM53118 is capable of enabling/disabling EEE.
