7.1
Command Line Interface use and guidance
Configuration of the ATTO FibreBridge
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.
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.

➔ 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.
