Parameters

name: Specifies an interface range name, a case-sensitive string of 1 to 32 characters.

interface-list: Specifies an interface list in the format of interface-list = { interface-type interface-number

[ to interface-type interface-number ] }&<1-5>. The interface-type interface-number argument specifies

an interface by its type and number. &<1-5> indicates that you can specify up to five interfaces or

interface lists. When you specify the to keyword in interface-type interface-number1 to interface-type

interface-number2, the interfaces before and after the to keyword must be on the same interface card or

subcard. The last-tier value of the interface number before to must not be greater than the one after to,

and the values of the other tiers of the interface number before to must be the same as the one after to.

Usage guidelines

You can use this command to assign a name to an interface range and can specify this name rather than

the interface range to enter the interface range view.

In interface range view, only the commands supported by the first interface are available. The first

interface is specified with the interface range command. To view the commands supported by the first

interface in the interface range, enter the interface range view and enter a question mark (?) at the

command line interface prompt.

Failure of applying 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.

To verify the configuration of the first interface in the interface range, execute the display this command

in interface range view.

To view the member interfaces of an interface range, use the display current-configuration | include

"interface range" command.

To bulk configure interfaces, follow these guidelines:

• 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 configuring fewer than 1000

interface range names.

Examples

# Add Ethernet 1/1 through Ethernet 1/12 to interface range named myEthPort, and enter the interface

range view.

<Sysname> system-view

[Sysname] interface range name myEthPort interface ethernet 1/1 to ethernet 1/12

[Sysname-if-range-myEthPort]

# Enter the view of interface range named myEthPort.
