NETGEAR GS728TP, GS752TP Green Ethernet Configuration, Dynamic Host Configuration table fields

GS752TP, GS728TP, and GS728TPP Gigabit Smart Switches

The Dynamic Host Configuration table shows host name-to-IP address entries that the switch has learned. Table 6 describes the dynamic host fields.

Table 6. Dynamic Host Configuration table fields

Field	Description
Host	Lists the host name you assign to the specified IP address.
Type	The type of the dynamic entry.
IPv4/IPv6 Address	Lists the IP address associated with the host name.

Click CLEAR to delete dynamic host entries. The table repopulates with entries as they are learned.

Green Ethernet Configuration

The Green Ethernet features allow the switch to reduce power consumption on a per-port basis. Each switch can support one or more of the following features:

•Auto Power Down Mode. When the Auto Power Down mode is enabled and the port link is down, the physical layer (PHY) automatically shuts down for a short period and wakes up to check link pulses. This mode reduces power consumption on the port when no link partner is present.

•Short Cable Mode. With Short Cable mode enabled, the PHY goes into low-power mode when the cable length is less than a certain limit.

•Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE) Mode. EEE enables ports to enter a low-power mode to reduce power consumption during periods of low link utilization. EEE is defined by IEEE 802.3az. EEE enables both the send and receive sides of the link to disable some functionality for power savings when the link is lightly loaded.
