Report if  switch id is missing, which is good.

AFAICT, this may well crash if port id or connedtion id are missing,
since it ends up passing NULL to strtol which is not defined to
allow NULL IIUC.

Allows portgroup id to be missing

Based on this logic  switch id, port id and connection id are mandatory, but
missing portgroup_id would be handled gracefully.

Indicates all attributes are mandatory even though the code gracefully
handles port group ID being missing.

Overall there's some error checking missing when parsing I believe,
or this needs relaxing for port group ID.
