For port list, specify the ports in the format [slotnum/]portnum, where slotnum is required on
chassis devices only. You can list all of the ports individually, use the keyword to to specify a range
of ports, or a combination of both. To apply the configuration to all ports on the device, use the
keyword all instead of listing the ports individually.
Note that using the keyword all may cause undesirable effects on some ports. The configuration
will be applied to all ports, however, the ports that are not members of any VLAN will not send VLAN
name advertisements.
System description
