Hello @Translator 

One common approach is to use an Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE) protocol, which allows devices to reduce power consumption during periods of low network traffic.

To enable EEE on a L2 switch, you need to configure the switch to support the IEEE 802.3az standard. This standard defines the methods for energy-efficient Ethernet operation in full-duplex mode by allowing the switch to enter low-power modes during periods of inactivity. When traffic resumes, the switch can quickly wake up to full power mode.

Also, I'm looking for using a power scheduling feature available on many L2 switches. This feature allows you to schedule when the switch enters a low-power mode and when it returns to full power mode. For example, you can schedule the switch to enter sleep mode during non-business hours and wake up just before business hours begin.

Best regards
