ATTO FibreBridge 7500N factory reset

not_so_funny — Wed, 04 Jun 2025 10:05:56 GMT

Is there a way to do factory reset on 7500n? got a used one and it doesn't connect with dhcp (dhcp works with same cable and another system). what will happen if i buy serial cable and it asks for password? Or is there factory reset when the power cords are pulled?

Just follow https://kb.netapp.com/Advice_and_Troubleshooting/Data_Protection_and_Security/MetroCluster/How_to_reset_(to_default)_the_username_and_password_of_the_FibreBridge . It will not just reset the password but the whole bridge.

Ah, great! I'm going to get a serial cable then...

Procedure

WARNING: Do not perform this action on more than one bridge at a time.

Disable access to the ATTO FibreBridge
- For Fabric attached MetroCluster, disable the switchport before resetting the password
- For stretched MetroClusters, disable the FC port before resetting the password

Reset the bridge configuration
- To reset the bridge password, connect the serial cable to the bridge to access CLI (the serial port does not require a password).
- Default baud rate is 115200.
- From the serial command line execute
- restoreconfiguration default
- If the command does not ask to restart, run the following command:
- saveconfiguration restart
- The process of setting the bridge back to defaults implies that all settings will be reset including
  - IP address
  - configuration settings

Reconfigure the bridge according to the MetroCluster configuration guide (fabric/stretched)

Enable access to the ATTO FibreBridge
- For Fabric attached MetroCluster, re-enable the switchport after reconfigure
- For Fabric attached MetroCluster, re-enable the FC port after reconfigure

Can smb. please suggest USB to RJ45 cable? Those i've found seem to have different RJ45 pin-out.

did you use 11520 baud rate? the bridges and new fas/aff controllers do not use 9600 any more.

I wanted to buy the cable at the attached image, but the 6500n manual says pin 1 is DSR and not CTS (whatever that means...). Will it work?
