Service Manual

The interface range command allows you to create an interface range allowing other commands to be applied to that range of

interfaces.

The interface range prompt oers the interface (with slot and port information) for valid interfaces. The maximum size of an interface

range prompt is 32. If the prompt size exceeds this maximum, it displays (...) at the end of the output.

NOTE: Non-existing interfaces are excluded from the interface range prompt.

NOTE: When creating an interface range, interfaces appear in the order they were entered and are not sorted.

The show range command is available under Interface Range mode. This command allows you to display all interfaces that have been

validated under the interface range context.

The show configuration command is also available under Interface Range mode. This command allows you to display the running

conguration only for interfaces that are part of interface range.

You can avoid specifying spaces between the range of interfaces, separated by commas, that you congure by using the interface

range command. For example, if you enter a list of interface ranges, such as interface range fo 1/1-1,te 2/1/1interface

range fo 1/1-1,te 2/1/1, this conguration is considered valid. The comma-separated list is not required to be separated by spaces

in between the ranges. You can associate multicast MAC or hardware addresses to an interface range and VLANs by using the mac-

address-table static multicast-mac-address vlan vlan-id output-range interface command.

Bulk Conguration Examples

Use the interface range command for bulk conguration.

• Create a Single-Range

• Create a Multiple-Range

• Exclude Duplicate Entries

• Exclude a Smaller Port Range

• Overlap Port Ranges

• Commas

• Add Ranges

Create a Single-Range

The following is an example of a single range.

Example of the interface range Command (Single Range)

Dell(config)# interface range tengigabitethernet 1/1/1 - 1/2/3

Dell(config-if-range-te-1/1/1-1/2/3)# no shutdown

Dell(config-if-range-te-1/1/1-1/2/3)#

Create a Multiple-Range

The following is an example of multiple range.

Example of the interface range Command (Multiple Ranges)

Dell(conf)#interface range tengigabitethernet 1/5/1 - 1/10/1 , tengigabitethernet 1/1/1 , vlan

Dell(conf-if-range-te-1/5/1-1/10/1,te-1/1/1,vl-1)#
