Setting the card beacon mode
When beaconing mode is enabled, the port LEDs flash amber in a running pattern from port 0 through
port 15 and back again. The pattern continues until you turn it off. This can be used to locate a particular
card.
To set the card beacon mode on:
1. Connect to the switch and log in as admin.
2. Issue the
bladebeacon
command with the following syntax at the command line:
bladebeacon slotnumber, mode
where
slotnumber
is the card where you want to enable beacon mode; this slot number must exist
on the logical switch. 1 turns beaconing mode on, or 0 turns beaconing mode off.
