8.4 FibreBridge menu provides CLI interface
Configuration of many models of the ATTO FibreBridge is available via a menu which contains most
commands available through CLI but in a hierarchical user-friendly format. It follows a standard
menu/choice model.
Configuration of the FibreBridge includes
displaying and modifying various attributes of
FibreBridge operation, as well as the update of
firmware. The menu system provides access to
ATTO FibreBridge services in a standard
menu/choice model, and displays options and
current status.
