The default timeout length is 300 seconds.
The default pattern is alternating.
Use this command to enable the front panel LEDs to flash so that a switch can be easily located in a crowded lab, or data center.
The LED locator service works for both directly attached and cascaded bridge port extenders (BPEs). Only the default LED pattern of alternating is supported by the BPEs. This causes alternating flashing of groups of 8 port LEDs.
The following example enables the front panel LEDs to flash in an alternating pattern for one hour on all slots:
enable led locator timeout 3600 pattern alternating all
