shownetworkport

The shownetworkport command displays detailed properties of an individual network port ID.

Parameters

-dev storage_image_ID

(Optional) The storage image ID, which consists of manufacturer, machine type, and serial number. The storage image ID is required if you do not specify a fully qualified port ID, do not set the devid variable in your profile or through the setenv command, and the HMC is aware of more than one storage image. Using the -dev parameter will temporarily override any defined value for devid for the current command.

port_ID | -

(Required) Displays I/O ports that match the specified IDs. This parameter accepts a fully qualified port ID, which includes the storage image ID, or a shortened version without the storage image ID when the -dev parameter is specified.

A port ID is prefixed with letter I and consists of four hexadecimal characters with the binary bit definition of trre eeee aaaa pppp (value is separated for readability), where:

t = port type (1= network port)
rr = reserved bits and set to zero
eeeee = enclosure number (value specified is 18 - 1F)
aaaa = adapter number
pppp = port number

If you use the dash (-), the specified value is read from standard input. You cannot use the dash (-) while you are in the DS CLI interactive command mode.
