Parameters

linkgroup_group_name

The group name (up to 16 characters) that contains the exact link or interface names or wildcard link or interface names.

linkname

An exact link or interface or a wildcard link or interface name.

Linknames can be wildcarded when specified in a group.

% or ? is a single-character position wildcard. It can be placed anywhere.
* is a multi-position wildcard. It can only be placed at the end of the linkname.
The two wildcard types can be used together. For example, L%%V5* is a valid wildcard name.

The position of the single wildcard (%) is used first to determine the most specific match. For example, the following wildcard names are checked in the order listed:

C5CLINK*
C5C%%%%*
C5%LINK*
C%CLINK*
C%CLI%K*
C%CLI%*
C%CL%NK*
C*
