EEE
Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE) is a set of technologies and standards designed to reduce the power consumption of Ethernet networks and network devices, such as switches and network interface cards (NICs). EEE aims to minimize energy usage during periods of low network activity by transitioning network devices into low-power or sleep modes.

|---|---|
Enable EEE function |
Enable/disable the EEE function on the port |
Enable LPI TX |
Enables/disables the transmission of Low Power Idles (LPIs) on the port. When enabled, the transmit side of the port will automatically enter low-power mode (and leave) low-power mode in periods of low or no traffic. LPIs will only be transmitted if the Link Partner (receiving port) has advertised EEE capability for the selected port speed during EEE auto-negotiation. |
