portAddress

--auto
Enables autobinding on the specified port. If the auto feature is enabled, the entire 
area field of the PID is bound to a single port. With 10-bit routing, up to 4 ports can 
share the same 8-bit area field of the PID. This address assignment mode 
dedicates all four unique routes to a single port. By default, auto is off. This 
operand is optional; if unspecified, the default is used.
--unbind
Removes both the address and any automode override configuration from the 
specified port.
--show
Displays the currently bound address attributes for the specified port. This 
command shows the lowest two bytes of the Fibre Channel address as well as the 
current setting for automode. If a port is not specified, the display shows the 
Partition Address Mode value (0, 1, or 2) and all ports on the current partition. A -1 
is displayed for ports that have not been assigned an area. Areas are dynamically 
assigned an address as they are added to a partition. The Partition Address Mode 
value is set by the configure command (Enable a 256 Area Limit).
--findPID
 Displays the port (slot and port offset) of the port that is currently assigned the 
provided address. This command applies the 10-bit area mask to the provided 
PID and returns the port that has been assigned the specified address. Therefore 
not all 24 bits are required to match exactly.
24-bit_Port_ID
Specifies the 24-bit Fibre Channel port address. This operand is required with the 
--findPID option. This command applies the 10-bit area mask to the provided PID 
and returns the port hat has been assigned the specified address. Therefore not 
all 24 bits are required to match.
--help
Displays the command usage.
EXAMPLES
To bind a 16-bit address to the low two bytes of a port 24-bit Fibre Channel address:
switch:admin> portaddress --bind 5/18 0x1a00
To unbind a given address from a port:
switch:admin> portaddress --unbind 5/18 0x1a00
To display all port address bindings on the current partition:
switch:admin> portaddress --show
Partition Address Mode :0
