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.
Compressing Conguration Files
The functionality to optimize and reduce the sizes of the conguration les is supported on the device.
You can compress the running conguration by grouping all the VLANs and the physical interfaces with the same property. Support
to store the operating conguration to the startup cong in the compressed mode and to perform an image downgrade without any
conguration loss are provided.
You can create groups of VLANs using the interface group command. This command will create non-existant VLANs specied
in a range. On successful command execution, the CLI switches to the interface group context. The conguration commands inside
the group context will be the similar to that of the existing range command.
Two existing exec mode CLIs are enhanced to display and store the running conguration in the compressed mode.

The compressed conguration will group all the similar looking conguration thereby reducing the size of the conguration. For this
release, the compression will be done only for interface related conguration (VLAN & physical interfaces)
The following table describes how the standard and the compressed conguration dier:
