switchBeacon 0|1
admin
Use this command to set the switch beaconing mode on (if the operand is 1)
or off (if the operand is 0).
When beaconing mode is turned on, the port LEDs flash amber in a running
pattern from port 0 to port 15, and then back again. The user sees a running
pattern in amber LEDs, from left to right and right to left. The pattern
continues until turned off by the user.
Beaconing mode affects only the port LEDs. Other commands are still
executable and functional. The normal flashing LED pattern (associated
with an active, faulty, or disabled port) is suppressed and the beaconing
pattern is shown. However, if diagnostic frame based tests
