Information
When creating an interface range, interfaces appear in the order they are entered; they are not 
sorted. The command verifies that interfaces are present (physical) or configured (logical). 
Important things to remember:
• Bulk configuration is created if at least one interface is valid.
• 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. 
interface, 
interface,...
Enter the keyword interface range and one of the interfaces — slot/port, 
port-channel or VLAN number. Select the range of interfaces for bulk 
configuration. You can enter up to six comma separated ranges—spaces are 
not required between the commas. Comma-separated ranges can include 
VLANs, port-channels and physical interfaces.
Slot/Port information must contain a space before and after the dash. For 
example, 
interface range gigabitethernet 0/1 - 5 is valid; interface range 
gigabitethernet 0/1-5
 is not valid. 
• For a 1-Gigabit Ethernet interface, enter the keyword 
GigabitEthernet 
followed by the slot/port information. 
• For a Port Channel interface, enter the keyword 
port-channel followed by 
a number:
C-Series and S-Series Range: 1 to 128
E-Series Range: 1 to 32 for EtherScale, 1 to 255 for TeraScale and 1 to 512 
for ExaScale. 
• For a SONET interface, enter the keyword 
sonet followed by the slot/port 
information. 
• For a 10-Gigabit Ethernet interface, enter the keyword 
TenGigabitEthernet followed by the slot/port information. 
• For a 40-Gigabit Ethernet interface, enter the keyword 
fortyGigE followed 
by the slot/port information.
• For a VLAN, enter the keyword 
vlan followed by a number from 1 to 
4094.
