Using the Device View Port Features
The switching-port coloring indicates if a port is currently active. Green
indicates that the port has a link, red indicates that an error has occurred on
the port, and blue indicates that the link is down. Each port image is a
hyperlink to the Port Configuration page for the specific port.
Using the Device View Switch Locator Feature
The Device View graphic includes a Locate button and a drop-down menu of
timer settings. When you click Locate, the switch locator LED on the back
panel of the switch blinks for the number of seconds selected from the timer
menu. The green, blinking LED on the back of the switch can help you or a
technician near the switch identify the physical location of the switch within
a room or rack full of switches. After you click the Locate button it turns
green and remains green while the LED is blinking. For more information
about the locator LED, see "Locator LED" on page 94.
NOTE: You can also issue the locate command from the CLI to enable the locator
LED.
