Hexadecimal Port Diagrams
Many of the commands, such as bcastshow , portLogShow , and
portLogDump return port diagrams in hexadecimal format.
Reading Hexadecimal Port Diagrams
The following example shows the bcastshow command and a member port list,
member ISL port list, and static ISL port list in hexidecimal format.
Example:
To read the hexadecimal port diagrams, they must be converted into binary
notation. Each hexadecimal value represents four binary values. Each
hexadecimal value is converted into a group of four binary values that represent
four ports, as follows:
switch:admin> bcastshow
