Bulk configuring interfaces
You can enter interface range view to bulk configure multiple interfaces with the same feature instead of
configuring them one by one. For example, you can perform the shutdown command in interface range
view to shut down a range of interfaces.
Command application failure on one member interface does not affect the application of the command
on the other member interfaces. If applying a command on one member interface fails, the system
displays an error message and continues with the next member interface.
Configuration guidelines
When you bulk configure interfaces in interface range view, follow these restrictions and guidelines:
• In interface range view, only the commands supported by the first interface are available.
• If you cannot enter the view of an interface by using the interface interface-type { interface-number
| interface-number.subnumber } command (for example, GigabitEthernet0/1), do not configure the
interface as the first interface in the interface range.
• No limit is set on the maximum number of interfaces in an interface range. The more interfaces in
an interface range, the longer the command execution time.
• The maximum number of interface range names is only limited by the system resources. To
guarantee bulk interface configuration performance, configure interface range names fewer than
1000.
Configuration procedure
To bulk configure interfaces:
Ste
p
Command Remarks
1. Enter system view. system-view
N/A
2. Enter interface range
view.
• Approach 1:
interface range { interface-type
interface-number [ to interface-type
interface-number ] } &<1-5>
• Approach 2:
interface range name name
[ interface { interface-type
interface-number [ to interface-type
interface-number ] } &<1-5> ]
Use either approach.
In approach 2, you assign a name to
an interface range and can specify this
name rather than the interface range to
enter the interface range view.
3. Display commands
available for the first
interface in the
interface range.
Enter ? at the interface range prompt.
Optional.
4. Perform available
commands to
configure the
interfaces.
Available commands vary by interface.
