Physically locating a switch using beaconing
Use the Beacon button to physically locate a switch in a fabric. The beaconing function helps to
physically locate a switch by sending a signal to the specified switch, resulting in an LED light
pattern that cycles through all ports for each switch (from left to right).
NOTE
Switch beaconing is enabled when the switch is owned by the current Admin Domain you are logged
in to or if the account you are logged in with is associated with an administrator role; otherwise,
switch beaconing is disabled.
1. Select a switch from the Fabric Tree.
The selected switch appears in the Switch View.
2. Click the Beacon button on the Switch View.
The LED lights on the actual switch (selected in the GUI) light up on the physical switch in a
pattern running back and forth across the switch itself. In chassis-based switches, the LED
glows across all the blades. The beaconing is not shown in the GUI.
3. Look at the physical switches in your installation location to identify the switch.
