List ports by device ID

[ctreatma]

What problem are you facing?

I have provisioned a device and I want to use metal-cli to view information about the device's ports. The device's port IDs are not included in the output of metal device get -i <device_id>, and I have to know the port ID for all of the metal port <subcommand> subcommands.

This means that, if I only know the device ID, I have to run metal device get -i <device_id> -o json in order to get port information. If I'm not already planning on doing some post-processing on the JSON output, it's annoying to be forced to switch to JSON output and parse out the ports.

How could the Equinix Metal CLI help solve this problem?

If metal ports get gained a -d <device_id> parameter (or similar) I could use the existing metal ports get command to find information about the ports belonging to a particular device.
