Configuring indicator LEDs to display node status
Alerts that cause the indicators to change are defined in the
/etc/alertd/alert.conf file and /config/user_alert.conf files on the BIG-IP
system. You should only edit the /config/user_alert.conf file to add new
alerts. The /etc/alertd/alert.conf defines standard system alerts.
To configure indicator LEDs to display node status
1. Display a command-line prompt on the BIG-IP system.
2. Type the following command:
cd /config
3. Using a text editor, such as vi or pico, open the file user_alert.conf.
4. Add the lines shown in Figure 4.1, on page 4-4, to the end of the
file.
5. Save the file and exit the text editor.
The front panel LEDs now indicate when nodes are marked down.
