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 signal the user to a particular blade.

To set the blade beacon mode on:

1. Log into the switch as the admin user.

2. Enter the

bladebeacon

command with the following syntax at the

command line:

bladebeacon slotnumber, mode

where

slotnumber

is the blade where you want to enable beacon mode. 1

turns beaconing mode on, or 0 turns beaconing mode off.
