ATTO Technology FibreBridge 1190E Installation and Operation Manual
7.1 Command Line Interface use and guidance
Configuration of the ATTO FibreBridge
TM
,
also known as FibreBridge Services,
,
is available via the
Command Line Interface (CLI).
FibreBridge Services includes displaying and
modifying various attributes of FibreBridge
operation, as well as the update of firmware using
the command line interface (CLI).
The Command Line Interface provides access to
FibreBridge Services through ASCII command
lines. CLI is designed to be used by applications
and “power users.” The initial display, after
powering up the unit or restarting the firmware,
will contain the information in Exhibit 7.1-3.
Once the initial display is complete, with the word
Ready
, you are in the Command Line Interface
mode.
Type
Help
to display a list of all commands
available.
➔
CLI commands are context sensitive and
generally follow a standard format:
[Get | Set] Command [Parameter 1 | Parameter 2]
followed by the
return
or
enter
key
➔
CLI commands are case insensitive: you
may type all upper or all lower case or a
mixture. Upper and lower case in this
manual and the
help
screen are for
clarification only.
➔
Commands generally have three types of
operation: get, set and immediate. They are
summarized here and in Exhibit 7.1-1
➔
The
get
form returns the value of a
parameter or setting and is an
informational command.
➔
Responses to get commands are specified
in the
Results
field for each command,
followed by
Ready.
➔
The
set
form is an action that changes the
value of a parameter or configuration
setting. It may require a
SaveConfiguration
command and a
restart of the system before it is
implemented. The restart can be
accomplished as part of the
SaveConfiguration
command or by using
a separate
FirmwareRestart
command.
➔
A number of set commands may be issued
before the
SaveConfiguration
command.
➔
Responses to
set
commands are either an
error message or
Ready.
*. The asterisk
indicates you must use a
SaveConfiguration
command to finalize
the
set
command.
➔
SaveConfiguration
will ask whether you
want to restart the system or not.
➔
Set commands which do not require a
SaveConfiguration
command, defined as
immediate commands, are immediately
executed.
➔
Responses to Immediate commands are
either an error message or data results
followed by
Ready.
Symbols, typefaces
and abbreviations used to indicate
functions and elements of the command
line interface used in this manual include
those found in Exhibit 7.1-2.
Exhibit 7.1-1 Summary of command functions.
Set commands
configure the FibreBridge and display what you have changed after completing the task.
Commands which require a
SaveConfiguration
command to complete their implementation will return
Ready. *.
Set commands which do not require a
SaveConfiguration
command are immediately executed.
Get commands
display information about the configuration of the FibreBridge. Responses to get commands are
specified in the Results field for each command, followed by
Ready
.
Screen messages, also called
returns
, may be either
terse
, with just the current information, or
verbose
, with
labels and the current information. If you want the verbose mode, type
set VerboseMode enabled
.
