Hi

If I use a switch like GS1915-8 in Nebula-mode, I can't control EEE/Green Ethernet.

Will it be enabled or disabled by default in NEbula mode?

    Hi @jensskov

    When the GS1915-8 switch is operating in Nebula mode, the EEE (Energy-Efficient Ethernet)/Green Ethernet feature is disabled by default. Currently, there is no option to manually control or configure this setting within Nebula.

    Thank you! When using them for Dante (audio over IP) this is crucial to have switched off.

    Hi @jensskov

    If you require audio over IP, I’d recommend considering a switch model specifically designed for Networked AV scenarios. While your current GS1915 supports IGMP snooping well, the models listed here https://www.zyxel.com/global/en/solutions/use-case/networked-av are tailored for Networked AV use and offer advanced features optimized for this purpose.
