beacon enable

Configures LED beacons at device or interface level.

Syntax

beacon enable chassis [ length length | start start-time ]

beacon enable interface { ethernet {slot/port [ length length start start-time ] } | { port-channel port-channel } }

Parameters

length: Specifies the duration in minutes. The range can be an integer in the range 1 to 1440.

start-time: Specifies the start time in the format (CCYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SS). Date and time are separated by a delimiter T.

port-channel: Specifies the port channel ID.

Modes

Privileged EXEC mode

Usage Guidelines

The chassis option affects all device interfaces.

Blink rate is one blink per second.

RASLOG messages are generated for chassis beacon enable and disable.

Examples

The following example configures beacon LEDs at device level.

device# beacon enable chassis ?
Possible completions:
  length   Duration in minutes
  start    Start time
  |        Output modifiers
  <cr>

device# beacon enable chassis length ?
Possible completions:
  <Enter a valid integer, 1 .. 1440>
device# beacon enable chassis length 1 ?
Possible completions:
  start   Start time
  |       Output modifiers
  <cr>

device# beacon enable chassis length 1 start ?
Possible completions:
  <dateTime (CCYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SS)>
 Please note the delimiter T which is used to separate date and time
