A <portlist> can be one port on a particular unit (for example, port
3:1).
A <portlist> can be a range of numbers (for example, port 3:1-3:3).
You can add additional unit and port numbers to the list, separated by a
comma (for example, port 3:1,4:8,6:10).
You can specify all ports on a particular unit (for example, port 3:*).
You can specify all ports on all units (for example, port * indicates all
ports on all units).
