Hexadecimal Port Diagrams

Many of the commands, such as bcastshow, portLogShow, and
portLogDump return port diagrams in hexadecimal format.

Reading Hexadecimal Port Diagrams

The following example shows the bcastshow command and a member port list,
member ISL port list, and static ISL port list in hexidecimal format.
Example:
switch:admin> bcastshow

To read the hexadecimal port diagrams, they must be converted into binary
notation. Each hexadecimal value represents four binary values. Each
hexadecimal value is converted into a group of four binary values that represent
four ports, as follows:
