Locate Switch

Configuring Locate Switch

The Locate Switch feature allows you to easily locate the physical location of a specific switch on your network. This feature enables the flashing of LEDs on a specific switch, which is useful for locating a device within a room with many interconnected devices. When this feature is activated, the following LEDs on the device blink alternately green and red for the specified amount of time:

  • Alarm IN (there are two alarm IN LEDs)

  • Alarm OUT

  • System

  • Express Setup

To configure and activate Locate Switch:

Procedure

Enter the following command and a value from 9 to 255 for the number of seconds to continue the blinking pattern:

locate-switch [seconds]

The default is 255. The LEDs continue the blinking pattern for the specified number of seconds. Enter 0 seconds to stop the blinking pattern before the number of seconds expires.

The locate-switch command is a volatile command and will not be saved or displayed in running or startup configuration.

Example

Switch# locate-switch
Switch# locate-switch 0
