Identifying the Ethernet port associated with a network interface

A computer on which application components are installed may have multiple Ethernet ports used for connecting to the local area network. You can use the application to enable blink mode for a network interface and identify which Ethernet port is associated with this interface. When blink mode is enabled, the LED indicator next to the Ethernet port blinks for 15 seconds.

If the network interface does not support LED blink mode (for example, there is no LED indicator next to the Ethernet port or the network interface is a logical bonded interface), an error occurs when blink mode is enabled.

Only users with the Administrator role can enable Ethernet port blink mode.

To determine which Ethernet port is linked to a network interface:

1. Connect to the Kaspersky Industrial CyberSecurity for Networks Server through the web interface using the Administrator account.
2. Select Settings → Deployment.
3. Click the Blink button on the network interface tile.

   If the network interface supports an LED indicator, the network cable connection icon begins to blink on the network interface tile. At the same time, the LED indicator next to the Ethernet port begins to blink on the corresponding network adapter of the computer.

While blink mode is enabled for one network interface, you cannot enable blink mode for another network interface on the same node.
