portPeerBeacon
To determine whether or not beaconing is enabled or disabled on the switch or chassis, use the switchBeacon or
chassisBeacon command without operands. A value of 0 indicates that the command is disabled, a value of 1
indicates that the command is enabled. Issue the portBeacon --show -all command to display beaconing status.
The switchShow command displays the status of the switchBeacon command only.
Notes The execution of this command is subject to Virtual Fabric restrictions that may be in place. Refer to "Using Fabric
OS Commands" and "Command Availability" for details.
Operands This command has the following operands:
slot
Specifies the slot number on which the port peer beaconing is available.

Enables the port peer beaconing on a particular port.
--disable

offline.
