Abstract
Light-emitting diodes (LEDs) on network switches provide useful visual indication of switch activity and important alerts of potential anomalies. Constant activation of these LEDs may lead to energy waste because an interested user is often not nearby to observe them. Conventional techniques for controlling LEDs typically allow users to use a Command Line Interface (CLI) command or Graphical User Interface (GUI) click to turn the LEDs off. However, these conventional approaches are inflexible and require significant user involvement. To address these issues, techniques proposed herein provide SmartLED, an intelligent LED control that leverages proximity sensors, physical buttons, and/or user input through CLI/GUI to dynamically optimize power and provide a seamless user experience.
