Version Description
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 verifies that interfaces are present (physical) or configured (logical).
Important Points 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.
● If overlapping port ranges are specified, 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, fortyGigE 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 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.
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 different interface types to a range of interfaces.
Dell(config-if)# interface range tengigabitethernet 5/1 - 5/23,
tengigabitethernet 1/1 - 1/2
Dell(config-if-range-te-1/1-2,te-5/1-23)# no shutdown
Dell(config-if-range-te-1/1-2,te-5/1-23)#
Example
(Multiple Range)
This example shows how to use commas to add VLAN and port-channel interfaces to the range.
Dell(config-if)# interface range tengigabitethernet 5/1 - 23,
tengigabitethernet 1/1 – 2,
