Assigns a name to a single port or to a range of ports identified by port index numbers, for example, -i 1/3-8 -n backup. You may specify multiple index ranges separated by a space, for example, -i 35-45 61-68 -n backup. Specifies a port or a range of ports identified by port index numbers in hexadecimal format.

To erase a port name, execute the port name operand as an empty string in double-quotation marks ( -n ""). This operand is optional; if omitted, the current port name is displayed.
