Users Guide

Slot/Port information must contain a space before and after the dash. For example,
interface range tengigabitethernet 0/1 - 5 is valid; interface
range tengigabitethernet 0/1-5 is not valid.
For a 10-Gigabit Ethernet interface, enter the keyword TenGigabitEthernet
followed by the slot/port information.
For a VLAN, enter the keyword vlan followed by a number from 1 to 4094.
Defaults none

Version Description
9.14(0.0) Updated the error message when no ports are congured within the specied interface
range.
9.9(0.0) Introduced on the FN IOM.
9.4(0.0) Supported on the FN I/O Aggregator.
Usage Information When creating an interface range, interfaces appear in the order they are entered; they are not sorted. The
command veries that interfaces are present (physical) or congured (logical). Important things to remember:
Bulk conguration is created if at least one interface is valid.
Non-existing interfaces are excluded from the bulk conguration with a warning message.
The interface range prompt includes interface types with slot/port information for valid interfaces. The prompt
allows for a maximum of 32 characters. If the bulk conguration 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 specied, the port range is extended to the smallest start port and the biggest
end port.

Only VLAN and port-channel interfaces created using the interface vlan and vlan tagged commands can
be used in the interface range command.
