This command activates a port of a remote target.
Each port in a remote system can be configured as either active or inactive. The
system does not use an inactive port. After a port is defined, it is active by default.
This command reactivates a port if it was de-activated (by using
target_port_deactivate).
This command has no effect, if the port is already active.

target_port_activate
target=Nextra2 fcaddress=10:00:00:17:38:27:ec:11
