Light up switchport command

[Fahad Siddiqui]

Hi All, I was wondering if there a command to light up a switchport on a switch to indicate to a user?

I did some searching but wasn't able to find that info.

Thanks

Not really.

The lights are indicative of link status and network activity.

The closest you could come would be to shutdown a port (which would make the lights go dark if they were already on).

If a port is already dark then there's no way to make the lights turn on or blink short of connecting a device to establish link.
