Set Individual Port Beaconing On or Off
Choose Operations from the navigation panel. Choose the Port tab and the
Beacon tab; the Beacon tab view displays (
Figure 45 ). Use this view to enable or
disable beaconing for individual ports. Enabling beaconing helps you to locate a
specific port for troubleshooting purposes by the use of flashing port LED. When
there are multiple products stacked together, such as in a rack-mount cabinet,
beaconing is useful to help locate a specific port by turning beaconing on for only
that port.
The first column shows the port number, the second column contains the port
name, as configured in the Ports tab view on the Configure page, and the third
column contains check boxes to enable/disable beaconing.
A checked box indicates beaconing is active, an empty box indicates beaconing is
not active for the port. To change the state click once inside the box. (A failed port
cannot be set to beacon.) When finished, click Activate to enable the new
configuration, or Cancel to return to the previous configuration. If your changes
are successful, a message displays stating that your changes to the configuration
have been successfully activated.
Note: For the Director 2/140, the ports are displayed through several pages in
groups of 32. To configure the port beaconing, make sure you go through each set of
ports.
