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.

Not sure what model of switch you have here, Cisco Cat 9K are more of design power saving method, again its all depends on what connected.
