Mode Button
The mode button is used for resetting the switch, selecting or changing an LED mode, and manually waking
up the switch from hibernation mode.
In Cisco Catalyst Micro Series Switches, LEDs are normally turned off to save power. When the mode button
is pressed, the LEDs turn on for a set period of 60 seconds before they turn off again to save power. This can
be overridden by a configuration parameter which alters the default 60 second timeout or disables LED power
savings completely. All LEDs are affected by this function except the System LED, which only dims and
does not turn off completely.
