Specify the slot number for a StorageWorks Core switch. For
all other switches this operand is not required. The slot
number must be followed by a slash ( / ) and the port
number, so that each port is represented by both slot
number (1 through 4, or 7 through 10), and port number
(0 through 15).
The StorageWorks Core switch has a total of 1–10 slots. Slot
number 5 and 6 are control processor cards, and slot 1
through 4, and 7 through 10, are port cards. On each port
card, there are 16 ports counted from the bottom, 0 to 15.
Specify the port number to name. This operand is required.
Specify a port number. Valid values for port number vary
depending on the switch type. This operand is optional.
Specify a port name. The port name is a character string
from 1 to 32 characters. This operand must be enclosed in
quotation marks. This operand is required.
