7.3 Configuration commands
Configure the ATTO FibreCenter 3400 using a Telnet session over the Ethernet port. The commands in this section
configure or provide information about the ATTO FibreCenter 3400. Flush, Setup and Switch commands are all
closely related.
Flush
Undoes all previous Setup commands since the most recent Flush or Switch command
Actions: Flush•000
Information: none
Rate
Sets (fixes) the data rate for each zone in the FibreCenter 3400. The rate will ordinarily be set through auto negotiation but this command has
the power to fix the rate at either 1Gb or 2Gb, regardless of auto negotiation. When the get rate command returns 0, the 0 is a placeholder for a
zone and does not mean autonegotiate.
Limits: [0|1|2] for auto negotiate, 1Gb or 2 Gb in zones 01, 02 or 03.
Actions: set•RACK•000•Rate•[0|1|2]•[0|1|2]•[0|1|2]
Information: get•RACK•000•Rate
Example: set•RACK•000•Rate• ••1•2
(sets zone 02 in 1 Gb, zone 03 as 2 Gb)
Return: RACK•000•Rate •1•0•0 (1Gb in zone 01)
Reset
Performs a “warm boot” including POST and refreshes all configuration settings. All software in Flash memory is reloaded into RAM.
Actions: Reset •RACK•000
Information: none
Setup
Prepares the FibreCenter 3400 for the requested configuration and saves all configuration information internally without making hardware
changes. Hardware changes require a Switch command.
Syntax: setup•000:[LL][C]0
Actions: Setup•000:01 [2|3|4|5|6|7|8]0
Setup•000:02 [2|3|4]0
Setup•000:03 [6|7|8]0
Information: none
See Exhibit 7.3-1 for examples of returns
Switch
Commits all previous Setup commands since the most recent Flush or Switch command. The Switch command first turns off all ports within the
configured zone, waits for the amount time designed in Switch Delay command (default is 20000 microseconds), then implements the Setup
command. The get switch command returns the ports as alphabetic characters because the hub is acting as an A-B switch.
Actions: Switch•000
Information: get•Switch•000
See Exhibit 7.3-1 for examples of returns
Switch Delay
Determines the amount of time before the Switch command takes effect in microseconds (µsec).
Limits: 0 to 2000000 µsec (0-2 seconds)
Default: 20000 µsec
Actions: set Switch•delay [0-2000000]
Information: get•Switch•Delay
