chassisBeacon 2 chassisBeacon Synopsis Sets chassis beaconing mode. chassisbeacon [mode] Description Use this command to enable or disable beaconing on a chassis. Chassis beaconing can be used to locate a failing chassis in a group of chassis. Use portBeacon to locate a failing port, and use switchBeacon to locate a failing (logical) switch. When beaconing mode is turned on, the port LEDs flash green at various rates across the chassis. The beaconing continues until you turn it off. Beaconing mode takes over the port LEDs. The normal flashing LED pattern associated with an active, faulty, or disabled port is suppressed, and only the beaconing pattern is shown. Other commands are still executable and functional. However, if diagnostic frame-based tests such as portLoopbackTest are executed, the diagnostic LED pattern is interleaved with the beaconing pattern. Note The execution of this command is subject to Virtual Fabric or Admin Domain restrictions that may be in place. Refer to chapter 1, "Using Fabric OS commands" and Appendix A, "Command Availability" for details. Operands This command has the following operand: mode Specify 1 to enable chassis beaconing mode or 0 to disable beaconing mode. This operand is optional.
