Setting the Blade Beacon Mode

When beaconing mode is enabled, the port LEDs will flash amber in a running pattern from port 0

through port 15 and back again. The pattern continues until the user turns it off. This can be used to

locate a particular blade.

To set the blade beacon mode on:

1. Connect to the switch and log in as admin.

2. Enter the bladeBeacon command:

The slotnumber is the blade on which you want to enable beacon mode; this slot number must exist

on the logical switch. The value 1 turns beaconing mode on, and 0 turns beaconing mode off.

Example

bladebeacon slotnumber, mode

switch:admin> bladebeacon 3, 1

switch:admin>
