Syntax
Hierarchy Level
Original CLI
ELS CLI for Platforms that Support FCoE
 | Note: The beacon-period configuration statement is in a different hierarchy on the original CLI than on the Enhanced Layer 2 Software (ELS) CLI. |
Release Information
Statement introduced in Junos OS Release 12.2 for the QFX Series.
Statement introduced for the ELS CLI in Junos OS Release 13.2 for the QFX Series.
Description
Set the interval between periodic beacons. Beacons perform virtual link maintenance for VN_Ports in a way that is similar to FIP keepalive advertisements.
The ENode sends periodic beacons every 90 seconds on behalf of the VN_Port. Each received beacon resets the session timer for the virtual link connection to the other VN_Port. If the FCF does not receive a beacon before the beacon timer expires, the VN_Port is considered as “down” and the virtual link is terminated. The beacon timer expires in 2.5 times the configured beacon timer value.
Options
milliseconds—Time in milliseconds between beacons.
Range: 250 through 90000 milliseconds
Default: 8000 milliseconds
Required Privilege Level
storage—To view this statement in the
configuration.
storage-control—To add this statement
to the configuration.
