Dell Brocade G620 Brocade 8.0.1 Fabric OS Command Reference - Page 842

portPeerBeacon To determine whether or not beaconing is enabled or disabled on the switch or chassis, use the switchBeacon or chassisBeacon command without operands. A value of 0 indicates that the command is disabled, a value of 1 indicates that the command is enabled. Issue the portBeacon --show -all command to display beaconing status. The switchShow command displays the status of the switchBeacon command only. Notes The execution of this command is subject to Virtual Fabric restrictions that may be in place. Refer to "Using Fabric OS Commands" and "Command Availability" for details. Operands This command has the following operands: slot Specifies the slot number on which the port peer beaconing is available. port Specifies the number of the port to be configured, relative to its slot for bladed systems. Use switchShow for a list of valid ports. --enable Enables the port peer beaconing on a particular port. --disable Disables the port peer beaconing on a particular port even when the port is disabled or offline. --show -all Displays the ports on which the Port Peer Beaconing is active. It helps to find the ports that receive the ELS and start beaconing. The administrator can verify the connectivity from the Telnet instead of physically verifying the connection. --help Displays the command usage.
