Concept Guide

Overlap Port Ranges
The following is an example showing how the interface-range prompt extends a port range from the smallest start port number
to the largest end port number when port ranges overlap. handles overlapping port ranges.
Example of the Interface-Range Prompt for Overlapping Port Ranges
DellEMC(conf)#interface range tengigabitethernet 2/1 - 2/11 , tengigabitethernet 2/1 -
2/23
DellEMC(conf-if-range-te-2/1-23)#
Commas
The following is an example of how to use commas to add different interface types to a range of interfaces.
Example of Adding Interface Ranges
DellEMC(config-if)# interface range tengigabitethernet 5/1 - 23, tengigabitethernet 1/1
- 2
DellEMC(config-if-range-te-5/1-23,te1/1-2)# no shutdown
DellEMC(config-if-range-te-5/1-23,te1/1-2)#
Add Ranges
The following example shows how to use commas to add VLAN and port-channel interfaces to the range.
Example of Adding VLAN and Port-Channel Interface Ranges
DellEMC(config-if-range-te-1/1-1/2)# interface range Vlan 2 – 100 , Port 1 – 25
DellEMC(config-if-range-te-1/1-1/2-vl-2-100-po-1-25)# no shutdown
Defining Interface Range Macros
You can define an interface-range macro to automatically select a range of interfaces for configuration.
Before you can use the macro keyword in the interface-range macro command string, define the macro.
To define an interface-range macro, use the following command.
● Defines the interface-range macro and saves it in the running configuration file.
CONFIGURATION mode
define interface-range macro_name {vlan vlan_ID - vlan_ID | {{tengigabitethernet |
fortyGigE} slot/port/[subport] - slot/port/[subport]}} [ , {vlan vlan_ID - vlan_ID |
{{tengigabitethernet | fortyGigE} slot/interfaceslot/port/[subport] - interfaceslot/port/
[subport]}]
Define the Interface Range
The following example shows how to define an interface-range macro named “test” to select Ten Gigabit Ethernet interfaces
5/1 through 5/4.
Example of the define interface-range Command for Macros
DellEMC(config)# define interface-range test tengigabitethernet 5/1 - 5/4
Choosing an Interface-Range Macro
To use an interface-range macro, use the following command.
