Specify a Portlist

The term portlist is used in SOF command syntax diagrams where specification of one or more ports is required or accepted. Specify any of the following, enclosing multiple specifications in parenthesis:

• A two-digit hexadecimal port number
• A range of ports, with start port number and end port number separated by a dash
• A full name assigned to one port on a specified switch
• A generic name template that matches one or more names assigned to one or more ports on a specified switch
