ATTO FibreCenter 3400
Ins
tallation and Operation Manual
4 Command Line Interface use and guidance
You will be able to perform all configuration via the telnet interface through the Ethernet port using
Command Line Interface (CLI) commands.
To configure the ATTO FibreCenter you will
access the Command Line Interface (CLI), a set of
ASCII commands, through a telnet session.
Ports are labeled 1 through 8. Zones are listed as
1 through 4.
CLI command conventions
❈ 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.
❈ Responses to commands are specified in the
Results field for each command, followed by
the telnet prompt $ .
❈ Symbols, typefaces and abbreviations used to
indicate functions and elements of the
command line interface used in this manual
include those found in Exhibit 4-5.
Action Definition
effective immediately Commands affect hub operation immediately upon acceptance by the hub application. Any
error-laden command is rejected with a suitable error message, and is not executed.
effective at Commit Zone Commands are validated, and their effects are recorded internally, but do not take effect until
the Commit Zone command is issued. The Commit Zone command causes these proposed
changes to take effect, and causes them to be written to persistent file space, to be available
for the next hub restart.
effective at restart Commands are validated, and their effects are made persistent upon acceptance of the
command. They take effect at the next hub restart (via the restart command, or a power cycle).
Typical commands are the Ethernet configuration commands.
portlist Ports are numbered 1 through 8, as indicated on the hub silk screen. portlist consists of a non-
delimited list of port numbers or all. Valid port lists include 1, 12, 4321, 12345678, all. If no
portlist is specified, all is assumed.
zonelist Zones are numbered 1 through 4. zonelist is a non-delimited list of zone numbers or all. Valid
zone lists include 1, 123, 42, 1234, all. If no zonelist is specified, all is assumed.
port numbers Port numbers are interpreted as pairs (odd and even), hence specifying an odd port number in
a mapping command selects both the specified port and the next higher (even numbered) port.
Similarly, specifying an even port number selects that port and the next lower (odd numbered)
port.
disabled (port) A port is disabled if it is forced offline, or if it has been auto bypassed because of an excessive
error count.
enabled (port) A port is enabled if it is forced online or if it has not been auto bypassed because of no/minimal
transmission errors.
persistent data Persistent data must survive a power cycle including the settings established by any set
commands (unless otherwise indicated). Persistent data is stored in .xml files which configure
the hub at restart or power up.
Commit Zone Describes the setting of the hub’s zone and port parameters as indicated in one or more
commands. Hub zone and port commit occurs upon acceptance of the respective command,
hence the actual parameters and behavior are established as commands are executed.
