Feature Request: 802.3az (Energy Efficient Ethernet)

Mon Mar 01, 2021 1:12 pm

Given climate and energysavings is a hot topic these days it seems only logical to support 802.3az.

Although savings on a 4 port switch is limited, it quickly adds up on 24 or 48 port models.

From what i can gather the hardware on CSR3xx models supports 802.3az but it's not possible to make use of it which seems like a waste.
The hardware can do it but lacks software support. The total energy savings based on the entire Mikrotik switch installbase can be quite significant.

A lot of competitors (even very cheap models) support this for a very long time. Often using the same HW as mikrotik.

Can Mikrotik enable this ?
