The Name Server window appears.

The Zone Accessible Devices window displays accessible zone member information specific to

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
You must have an RBAC role of admin to initiate switch beaconing. The LED light pattern is initiated
on the actual switch or chassis. It is not mirrored in the Switch View.
1. Select a switch from the Fabric Tree.
The selected switch appears in the Switch View.
2. Click Beacon for a switch, or Chassis Beacon for a chassis-based switch.
The LED lights on the actual switch light up on the physical switch in a pattern running back
and forth across the switch itself. In chassis-based switches, the LEDs glow across all the
blades.
3. Look at the physical switches in your installation location to identify the switch.
Locating logical switches using chassis beaconing
Use the Chassis Beacon button to locate all logical switches in a chassis.
1. Select a logical switch using the Logical Switch selector or from the Fabric Tree.
The selected switch appears in the Switch View.
2. Click Chassis Beacon.
The LEDs on the logical switch light up on the blades associated with the logical switch.
