Setting Product Beaconing On or Off

Choose Operations from the navigation panel. The Switch or Director tab
displays, depending on the type of product. Choose the Beacon tab; the Beacon
tab view displays (

Figure 41

).

Using this view, you can enable or disable beaconing on the product. The current
state of beaconing for the unit, which is either on or off, is displayed by a flashing
LED. Beaconing is useful in helping to isolate problems and locate the product,
especially when there are multiple HP high availability fabric directors and
switches stacked together, such as in a rack-mount cabinet.

You can change the beaconing state from on or off by choosing Activate. For
example, if the page displays Unit beaconing is Off, choosing Activate will turn
beaconing on. After you refresh the web browser, by choosing the Beacon tab, the
page will then display Unit Beaconing is On.
