Define the Interface Range
The following example shows how to define an interface-range macro named “test” to select Fast Ethernet interfaces
5/1 through 5/4.
Example of the define interface-range Command for Macros
FTOS(config)# define interface-range test gigabitethernet 5/1 - 4
Choosing an Interface-Range Macro
To use an interface-range macro, use the following command.
• Selects the interfaces range to be configured using the values saved in a named interface-range macro.
CONFIGURATION mode
interface range macro name
The following example shows how to change to the interface-range configuration mode using the interface-range
macro named “test.”
Example of Using a Macro to Change the Interface Range Configuration Mode
FTOS(config)# interface range macro test
FTOS(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, traffic statistics, and so on.
To view the interface’s statistics, use the following command.
• View the interface’s statistics.
EXEC Privilege mode
Enter the type of interface and slot/port information:
– For a 10/100/1000 Ethernet interface, enter the keyword GigabitEthernet then the slot/port information.
– For a Gigabit Ethernet interface, enter the keyword GigabitEthernet then the slot/port information.
– For the Management interface on the RPM, enter the keyword ManagementEthernet then the slot/port
information.
– For a SONET interface, enter the keyword sonet then the slot/port information.
– For a 10-Gigabit Ethernet interface, enter the keyword TenGigabitEthernet then the slot/port
information.
– For a 40-Gigabit Ethernet interface, enter the keyword fortyGigE then the slot/port information.
The information displays in a continuous run, refreshing every 2 seconds by default. To manage the output, use the
following keys.
