I want the Beacon LED to light up at boot up.

[claudemichel]

 As the title says, Could you please let me know if it is possible to make the Beacon Blue LED light up at startup? I would especially like to know how to do this for Catalyst9000 and 4500.

You would need to check documents to see if this possible, i saw on this on other models

To turn a blue beacon on in cli

Switch(config)#

hw-module beacon on switch 1

To turn a blue beacon off in cli

Switch(config)#

hw-module beacon off switch 1

From the actual switch

Switch(config)#hw-module beacon on switch 1
Switch(config)#
*Nov 14 14:10:43.358: %PLATFORM_LED-6-BEACON_LED_TURNED: Switch 1 Beacon LED turned ON
Switch(config)#hw-module beacon off switch 1
*Nov 14 14:10:52.374: %PLATFORM_LED-6-BEACON_LED_TURNED: Switch 1 Beacon LED turned OFF

Yes and no. 

Natively, no. 

However, EEM script can.

Hi @claudemichel 

I think this is possible with an EEM script as @Leo Laohoo suggests.

I have just tested this on a 9300.

event manager applet BEACON_ON
 event timer countdown time 10
 action 10 cli command "enable"
 action 11 cli command "hw-module beacon slot active on"
end

# This should run the applet after 10 seconds or 10 seconds after the switch boots up.

@claudemichel 

I don’t think is possible

Really seems odd to post the same question word for word… https://community.cisco.com/t5/devnet-general-discussions/i-want-the-beacon-led-to-light-up-at-boot-up/td-p/4935224

I dont known but you can try beacon command and knor to led specific port when reboot.

[Leo Laohoo]

Can be done using EEM.  

Not sure if 4500 even has a blue light.

Reach out to @Joe Clarke.

Has this been resolved? Do you still need help?
