Monitoring and Managing the ATTO FibreBridge

The ATTO FibreBridge Services can be used to configure and tune the bridge for many different environments and applications, update the firmware, configure the addresses of the connected SCSI devices, monitor internal power and temperature status, report on hardware diagnostics and log failures. There are three methods available for a user to communicate with the ATTO FibreBridge:

In-band Fibre Channel link for FibreBridge 2100R, 2200R/D and 3200R

SNMP or Telnet over Ethernet for FibreBridge 2200R/D and 3200R

RS-232 for FibreBridge 2100R, 2200R/D and 3200R

Communication over Ethernet or the RS-232 serial port can be performed using a command line interface or a menu system. Refer to the ATTO FibreBridge Software manual for a list of the available commands and their syntax.

ATTO BridgeTools Graphical Interface Configuration Program

The simplest method to communicate with the bridge is to use ATTO BridgeTools. It is a Java-based graphical interface configuration utility designed to be an easy way to flash firmware and manage the configuration for all models of the FibreBridge. It can use any of the connection methods listed above, depending upon the model, with the exception of the RS-232 for the FibreBridge 2100R. This bridge only uses the serial port to report power on self-test diagnostics.

The BridgeTools program currently supports:

Windows 95/98, NT, and 2000

MAC OS 9.1 and earlier

Solaris 2.7 and 2.8

Refer to the ATTO BridgeTools manual for complete instructions to how to install and operate the program.

Accessing the ATTO FibreBridge over the RS-232 interface

The serial port on the FibreBridge 2100R can only be used to monitor the power on self-test diagnostics. To perform this operation, connect a DB9 crossover cable to the serial port on the Bridge. Have an active link open (such as HyperTerminal) and apply power to the bridge. A series of messages will be displayed reporting the current firmware level and status of the bridge. After this has completed and the bridge becomes ‘Ready’, the serial port has no other functionality.

The FibreBridge 2200R/D and 3200R have support for the complete set of remote service operations over the RS-232 serial port either through a command line interface, menu system or graphical interface (BridgeTools). The following steps illustrate how these bridges may be configured using standard terminal emulation software available with most operating systems:
