Interface Range Enhancements
Inserting a space between comma-separated interfaces and interface ranges in interface range command syntax is no longer
required.
For example, you can enter the following valid interface range: interface range fo 2/0-16,te 1/0,te 0/0–3,fo 0/4.
Also, you can associate a static multicast MAC address with one or more VLANs and port interfaces by using the mac-address-table
static multicast-mac-address vlan vlan-id output-range interface command.
Dening Interface Range Macros
You can dene an interface-range macro to automatically select a range of interfaces for conguration.
Before you can use the macro keyword in the interface-range macro command string, dene the macro.
To dene an interface-range macro, use the following command.
• Denes the interface-range macro and saves it in the running conguration le.
CONFIGURATION mode
define interface-range macro_name {vlan vlan_ID - vlan_ID} | {{tengigabitethernet | fortyGigE}
slot/port - port}| {peGigE pe-id/unit-id/port-id} [ , {vlan vlan_ID - vlan_ID}
{{tengigabitethernet | fortyGigE} slot/port - port} |{peGigE pe-id/unit-id/port-id}]
Dene the Interface Range
The following example shows how to dene an interface-range macro named “test” to select 10–GigabitEthernet interfaces 5/1 through
5/4.
Dell(config)# define interface-range test tengigabitethernet 5/1 - 4
Choosing an Interface-Range Macro
To use an interface-range macro, use the following command.
• Selects the interfaces range to be congured using the values saved in a named interface-range macro.
CONFIGURATION mode
interface range macro name
Example of Using a Macro to Change the Interface Range Conguration Mode
The following example shows how to change to the interface-range conguration mode using the interface-range macro named “test.”
Dell(config)# interface range macro test
Dell(config-if)#
Monitoring and Maintaining Interfaces
Monitor interface statistics with the monitor interface command. This command displays an ongoing list of the interface status (up/
down), number of packets, trac statistics, and so on.
To view the interface’s statistics, use the following command.
• View the interface’s statistics.
