Administrator Guide

• Non-existing interfaces are excluded from the bulk configuration with a warning message.
• The interface range prompt includes interface types with slot/port information for valid interfaces. The
prompt allows for a maximum of 32 characters. If the bulk configuration exceeds 32 characters, it is
represented by an ellipsis ( ... ).
• When the interface range prompt has multiple port ranges, the smaller port range is excluded from the
prompt.
• If overlapping port ranges are specified, the port range is extended to the smallest start port and the biggest
end port.
Example (If atleast
one port is
configured)
DellEMC(conf)# interface range gigbitethernet 1/1 - 1/11, tengigabitethernet
3/3, gigbitethernet 3/10
% Warning: Non-existing ports (not configured) are ignored by
interface-range
Example (If no
ports are
configured within
the specified
interface range)
DellEMC(conf)# interface range gigbitethernet 1/1 - 1/11, tengigabitethernet
3/3, gigbitethernet 3/10
% Error: No port is configured in interface range
Example
(Configuration
Terminal Batch
Mode)
DellEMC(conf-b)#interface range te 1/1-4
DellEMC(conf-if-range-te-1/1-4)#
Example (Multiple
Ports)
DellEMC(conf)# interface range gigabitethernet 2/10 - 2/23, gigabitethernet
2/12 - 2/17
DellEMC(conf-if-range-gi-2/10-2/23)#
Example
(Overlapping
Ports)
DellEMC(conf)# interface range gigabitethernet 2/3 - 2/11, gigabitethernet
2/3 - 2/23
DellEMC(conf-if-range-gi-2/3-2/23)#
Usage Information
Only VLAN and port-channel interfaces created using the interface vlan and interface port-
channel commands can be used in the interface range command.
Use the show running-config command to display the VLAN and port-channel interfaces. VLAN or port-
channel interfaces that are not displayed in the show running-config command cannot be used with the
bulk configuration feature of the
interface range command. You cannot create virtual interfaces (VLAN,
Port-channel) using the
interface range command.
NOTE: If a range has VLAN, physical and port-channel interfaces, only commands related to
physical interfaces can be bulk configured. To configure commands specific to VLAN and port-
channel only those respective interfaces should be configured in a particular range.
Example (Single
Range)
This example shows a single range bulk configuration.
DellEMC(config)# interface range gigabitethernet 5/3 - 23
DellEMC(config-if-range-gi-5/3-5/23)# no shutdown
DellEMC(config-if-range-gi-5/3-5/23)#
Example (Multiple
Range)
This example shows how to use commas to add different interface types to a range of interfaces.
DellEMC(config-if)# interface range gigabitethernet 5/1 - 5/23,
gigabitethernet 1/1 - 1/2
DellEMC(config-if-range-gi-1/1-1/2,gi-5/1-5/23)# no shutdown
DellEMC(config-if-range-gi-1/1-1/2,gi-5/1-5/23)#
