M6100, M5300, and M7100 Series Managed Switches The default IP address of the switch is 169.254.100.100. The Login screen displays. 5. Enter the user name and password. The default admin user name is admin and the default admin password is blank, that is, do not enter a password. 6. Click the Login button. The web management interface menu displays. 7. Select System > Management > Green Ethernet. 8. Select the Auto Power Down mode Disable or Enable radio button. The factory default is Enable. When the port link is down, the PHY automatically goes down for short period of time, and then wakes up to check link pulses. This allows autonegotiation and power consumption saving when no link partner is present. 9. Select the EEE mode Disable or Enable radio button. Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE) combines the MAC with a family of PHYs that support operation in a low power mode. It is defined by IEEE 802.3az Energy Efficient Task Force. Lower power mode enables both the send and receive sides of the link to disable some functionality for power savings when lightly loaded. Transition to low power mode does not change the link status. Frames in transit are not dropped or corrupted in transition to and from low power mode. Transition time is transparent to upper layer protocols and applications. 10. Click the Apply button. The updated configuration is sent to the switch. Configuration changes take effect immediately. Configure Green Ethernet Interface Settings  To configure the Green Ethernet interface settings: 1. Prepare your computer with a static IP address in the 169.254.100.0 subnet, for example, 169.254.100.201. 2.
