The PORT_NAME parameter specifies the name of the physical connection to the link hardware. A port is sometimes referred to as an adapter. One or more ports can be controlled by a single data link control (DLC) process. However, IBMEEDLC (IPv4) and IBMEE006 (IPv6) cannot be on the same connection network.

This parameter is optional.

PORT_NAME is a 1- to 8-byte character string.
