Many CLI commands require users to enter port numbers as part of the command syntax, and
many show command outputs display port numbers. The port numbers are entered and displayed
in stack-unit/slot number/port number format. In all Brocade ICX 6650 inputs and outputs, the
stack-unit number is always 1.
