6.1.1.0 Introduced on the E-Series.
Usage Information When creating an interface range, interfaces appear in the order they are entered; they are not sorted. The
command veries that interfaces are present (physical) or congured (logical).
Important Points to Remember:
• Bulk conguration is created if at least one interface is valid.
• Non-existing interfaces are excluded from the bulk conguration 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 conguration 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 specied, the port range is extended to the smallest start port and the
biggest end port.
Example (Bulk)
Dell(conf)#interface range tengigbitethernet 2/1 - 11, fortyGigbE 3/3,
tengigbitethernet 3/10
% Warning: Non-existing ports (not configured) are ignored by
interface-range
Example (Multiple
Ports)
Dell(conf)#interface range tengigabitethernet 2/10 - 23,
tengigabitethernet 2/12 - 17
Dell(conf-if-range-te-2/10-23)#
Example
(Overlapping Ports)
Dell(conf)#interface range tengigabitethernet 2/3 - 11, tengigabitethernet
2/3 - 23
Dell(conf-if-range-te-2/3-23)#
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 conguration 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 congured. To congure commands specic to VLAN and port-
channel only those respective interfaces should be congured in a particular range.
Example (Single
Range)
This example shows a single range bulk conguration.
Dell(config)# interface range tengigabitethernet 5/3 - 23
Dell(config-if-range-te-5/3-23)# no shutdown
Dell(config-if-range-te-5/3-23#
Example (Multiple
Range)
This example shows how to use commas to add dierent interface types to the range enabling all Tengigabit
Ethernet interfaces in the range 5/1 to 5/23 and both Tengigabit Ethernet interfaces 1/1 and 1/2.
Dell(config-if)# interface range tengigabitethernet 5/1 - 5/23,
tengigabitethernet 1/1 - 1/2
