Fabric OS Commands portname Assign or display a port name. Synopsis: V3.1.x portname port_number, "port_name" Synopsis: V4.1.x portname [slotnumber/]portnumber, "portname" Availability Admin Release V3.1.x and V4.1.x Description Use this command to assign or display a port name. Both operands are optional for this command. With both the operands present, the port name string will be assigned to the port. With only the port name operand, the previously assigned port name will be displayed. With no operands, the port names of all the ports present will be displayed. The port name is a string of length 32 characters or less. It may consist of white spaces or printable characters, excluding the characters comma and semi-colon. By default, a port has no name until it is explicitly assigned by the user. A null string (that is no port name operand specified) is used as the default port name when a port had no user assigned name. A port name can be reset to the default value by executing the portname command with the second operand as a null string. Like all other configurable port attributes, port name will be persistent across reboots and power cycles. It will not be affected by configdefault command but it will be cleared by portcfgdefault. 592 Fabric OS Version 3.1.x/4.1.x Reference Guide
