interface range name
Use interface range name name interface interface-list to create an interface range, configure a name
for the interface range, add interfaces to the interface range, and enter the interface range view.
Use interface range name without the interface keyword to enter the view of an interface range with the
specified name.
Use undo interface range name to delete the interface range with the specified name.
Syntax
interface range name name [ interface interface-list ]
undo interface range name name
Views

Default command level
2: System level
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, and the interface number before to must be smaller than 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.
You can use the display current-configuration | include interface range command to view the member
interfaces of an interface range.
In interface range view, only the commands supported by the first interface are available. To view the
commands supported by the first interface in the interface range, enter the interface range view and
enter ? at the command line interface prompt.
To verify the configuration of the first interface in the interface range, execute the display this command
in interface range view.
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.
When you 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, do not configure the interface as the first interface in the
interface range.
• Do not assign an aggregate interface or any of its member interfaces to an interface range at the
same time. Some commands, after being executed on both an aggregate interface and its member
interfaces, can break up the aggregation.
