sending normal idle signals. After a period of time called Tw (time to wake), the link becomes
active and begins passing traffic. Ts and Tw are negotiated between the link partners using LLDP.
To display the EEE page, click LLDP > EEE in the navigation pane. EEE activated columns show if
the switch and the link partner have agreed upon which wakeup times to use.

Description
The port on which LLDP frames are received or transmitted.
The time in microseconds that the transmitting link partner waits after leaving the low
power idle mode, before sending data.
The time in microseconds that the receiving link partner requests the transmitting link
partner to wait after leaving the low power idle mode, before sending data.
An alternate value for the time that the receiving link partner requests the transmitting
link partner to wait after leaving LPI mode, before sending data.
Echo sent to the link partner of the latest values received from the link partner.
