bridge packetFilter portGroup copy

or port group.
When adding addresses or ports to an existing group, you can either enter
the addresses or ports at the prompts or import them from a file. At least

An address group for a switching module supports a maximum of 8192

The maximum number of ports a port group can contain is 9, which is the
maximum number of ports on a switching module.
