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[/subport] 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 2/10/1 - 2/11/2, fortyGigE
3/3, tengigbitethernet 3/10/1
% Warning: Non-existing ports (not configured) are ignored by
interface-range
Dell(conf)# interface range tengigbitethernet 1/10/1 - 1/12/4, fortyGigE
1/13/1, tengigbitethernet 1/15/1
% Warning: Non-existing ports (not configured) are ignored by
interface-range
Example
(Multiple Ports)
Dell(conf)# interface range tengigabitethernet 1/1/1 - 1/12/3,
tengigabitethernet 1/3/2 - 1/9/4
Dell(conf-if-range-te-1/1/1-1/12/3)#
Example
(Overlapping
Ports)
Dell(conf)# interface range tengigabitethernet 1/1/1 - 1/10/1,
tengigabitethernet 1/1/1 - 1/20/3
Dell(conf-if-range-te-1/1/1-1/20/3)#
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 1/1/1 - 1/7/3
Dell(config-if-range-te-1/1/1-1/7/3)# no shutdown
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 1/1/1 - 1/20/3,
hundredGigE 1/24 - 1/29
Dell(config-if-range-te-1/1/1-1/20/3,hu-1/24-1/29)# no shutdown
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 1/1/1 - 1/20/3,
tengigabitethernet 1/23/1 –1/24/4,
Vlan 2–100, Port 1–25
