Synopsis
switchbeacon
[
mode
]
Description
Use this command to enable or disable switch beaconing mode.
When beaconing mode is turned on, the port LEDs flash amber, left to right and right to left, from port
0 to the highest port number, and then back to port 0. The beaconing mode continues until you turn it off.
Beaconing mode can be used to locate a failing unit.
The beaconing LED pattern continues until you turn it off. Beaconing mode takes over the port LEDs.
Other commands are still executable and functional. The normal flashing LED pattern (associated with
an active, faulty or disabled port for example) is suppressed and only the beaconing pattern is shown.
However, if diagnostic frame-based tests (like
portLoopbackTest
,
crossPortTest
, and
spinSilk
) are
executed, two patterns are interleaved. The diagnostic test flickers the LEDs green and the beaconing
mode runs the LEDs amber at the same time.
Use the
switchShow
command to display the status of beaconing.
Note
The execution of this command is subject to Admin Domain restrictions that may be in place.
Operands
This command has the following operand:
mode
Specify 1 to enable beacon mode or 0 to disable beacon mode. This operand is
optional.
If no operand is specified, the current value is displayed.
