Appendix C CLI provides an ASCII-based interface

The command line interface (CLI) uses ASCII commands typed while in CLI mode.

CAUTION

Do not use CLI unless you are directed to by an ATTO technician.

Changing parameters may cause loss of data and/or disruption to performance and reliability of the FastStream.

The FastStream VT 5300 GUI is the preferred method to operate and manage the FastStream VT 5300. Refer to Interface options on page 23 for details.

The command line interface (CLI) is a set of ASCII-based commands which perform configuration and diagnostic tasks. Refer to Interface options on page 23.

•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.

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

Note

Using CLI commands during normal operation can cause a performance drop. Once command actions are complete, performance should return to normal levels.
