Appendix B CLI provides ASCII-based interface

The command line interface (CLI) provides access to the ATTO FibreBridge Services through a set of ASCII commands. CLI commands may be entered while in CLI mode.

FibreBridge Services provide configuration and monitoring for the FibreBridge. The command line interface (CLI) is a set of ASCII-based commands which perform these tasks. CLI commands may be entered while in CLI mode.

•CLI commands are context sensitive and generally follow a standard format

[GetSet] Command [Parameter1Parameter2]

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.

•The get form returns the value of a parameter or setting and is an informational command.

•Responses to get commands are 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 asks if you want to restart the system or not.

•Set commands which do not require a SaveConfiguration command, defined as Immediate commands, are executed.

•Responses to Immediate commands are either an error message or data results followed by Ready.
