Port Allows you to select a specified units (see preceding Unit field) port number
to view or configure. To view or configure another port, type its port number
and press [Enter], or press the spacebar to toggle the port numbers. If you
set this field value to All, other screen field values you modify apply to all
ports for the specified unit.
The All value is also useful when you want to apply modified field values to
most of, but not all of, your switchs ports. For example, if you want to apply
modified field values to 23 of your swit chs 24 ports, it may be easier to apply
the All value in the Port field, and then reconfigure the single port back to its
original values.
