HP MSR2000/3000/4000 Router Series Interface Configuration Guide

iii
Failure to apply a command 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. The first
interface is specified with the interface range command.
• If you cannot enter the view of an interface by using the interface interface-type { interface-number
| interface-number.subnumber } command (for example, BRI 1/1/1:1), 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, HP recommends that you configure fewer than
1000 interface range names.
Configuration procedure
To bulk configure interfaces:
Step Command Remarks
1. Enter system view.
system-view N/A
2. Enter interface range
view.
• interface range { interface-type
interface-number [ to
interface-type
interface-number ] } &<1-5>
• interface range name name
[ interface { interface-type
interface-number [ to
interface-type
interface-number ] } &<1-5> ]
Use either command.
By using the interface range name
command, 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. (Optional.) Display
commands available for
the first interface in the
interface range.
Enter a question mark (?) at the
interface range prompt.
N/A
4. Use available
commands to configure
the interfaces.
Available commands vary by
interface.

5. (Optional.) Verify the
configuration.
