Cli Provides Ascii-Based Interface - ATTO Technology iPBridge 2600 Installation And Operation Manual

7.1 CLI provides ASCII-based interface

The command line interface (CLI) provides access to the ATTO iPBridge Services through a set of ASCII
commands. CLI commands may be entered while in CLI mode.
iPBridge Services provide configuration and
monitoring for the iPBridge. CLI commands may
be entered while in CLI mode or on the
ExpressNAV interface Advanced CLI page.
• 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.
• The get form returns the value of a parameter or
setting and is an informational command.
Responses to get commands are specified in the
Results field for each command, followed by
Ready.

ATTO Technology Inc. iPBridge Installation and Operation Manual
• 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.
• Commands which do not require a
SaveConfiguration command are immediately
executed.
Responses to commands are either an error
message or data results followed by Ready.
For an example of a typical CLI command and
response, see Exhibit 7.1-2 on page 32.
