Command Line Interface (ATTO FibreBridge 2200R/D, 3100R and 3200R)
The command line interface (CLI) provides access to FibreBridge services through a set of ASCII based
command lines. CLI commands may be entered while in CLI mode and Menu Interface mode.
CLI commands are context sensitive and generally follow a standard format.
[Get | Set ] Command [Parameter 1 [Parameter 2 [...]]]\n
Note: In this document, braces ([]) indicate a choice of fields and (<>) indicates optional fields. A
subsequent version of this document will clarify the differences between the Get and Set
command syntax. Generally, a Set command requires one additional parameter than the related
Get command.
Commands generally have four types of operation: immediate, get, set and usage. The Get form returns
the value of a parameter or setting. The Set form changes the value of a parameter or configuration
setting. Set and get commands do not take effect until a SaveConfiguration command is carried out.
Immediate commands (signified by the immediate keyword in this document) cause an instantaneous
action to be carried out, and are not preceeded by the 'get' or 'set' keyword. If the form of operation
cannot be determined, it is assumed to be the Usage form and a brief help message is displayed.
The strings "get" and "set" may be abbreviated by 'g' and 's', respectively.
All commands are case insensitive unless specifically noted.
Decimal numbers may be entered as raw numerical input (e.g. 123).
Octal numbers must be preceded by the number 0 (e.g. 0713).
Hexadecimal numbers must be preceded by the C-style 0x prefix (e.g. 0x1FA4).
Quoted strings will be treated as a single parameter for any command which expects character input,
regardless of spaces in the string.
Several commands require a save before their modified parameters take effect. When such a command
is executed an asterisk will appear next to the command-line prompt. Similarly, an asterisk will appear
next to a menu title if any menu parameters have been modified. Save the current configuration to store
any modified parameters and remove the asterisk.
CLI responses can take several forms:
All Responses are followed by the string "Ready.\n".
Responses to Set Commands are either the error message or "Ready."
Responses to Get Commands are specified in the Results: field for each command, followed by
"Ready.\n"
The following sections describe commands available through the command line interface.
