Control the port LEDs

You can turn the port LEDs on the switch on and off by using the device UI.
By default, a port LED lights when you connect a powered-on device to the port. When
the switch functions with its LEDs off, we refer to it as Stealth Mode.

switch, or connected directly to the switch through an Ethernet cable.
