System and Method for Enhanced Energy Control Policy for Unmanaged Switch Applications

摘要

A system and method for enhanced energy control policy for unmanaged device applications. EEE control customizations are provided to a profile element (e.g., PROM, EEPROM, flash memory, system memory, input pins, etc.) that is included in the unmanaged device. The configuration information stored in profile element is accessed by an EEE control policy for customization of the EEE control policy. In one embodiment, the EEE control customization can be generated by another device (e.g., managed device) separate from the unmanaged device.
