Usually portmask is parsed with the -p option (depends on the app), followed by an hexadecimal value.
So, for instance, -p 0x5 will use ports 0 and 2 from the ports bound to one of the DPDK drivers.

Regarding to your second question, number of ports are independent of number of cores.
A single core can handle several ports, and even several cores can handle a single port (using different queues).

Regards,
Pablo
