Configuring Interfaces | 127
Bulk Configuration Examples
The following examples are of using the interface range command for bulk configuration.
Configure a single range
In this example, the interface range ethernet range command was used to select ports 1 through 23 on stack
member 5. Then, the
no shutdown command enabled all of those ports.
Figure 7-90. Using Bulk Configuration on a Single Range
Note that spaces are not allowed around hyphens when specifying the range.
The resulting prompt includes interface types with slot/port information for valid interfaces, in this case
(conf-if-range-et-5/0/1-5/0/23)#. The prompt allows for a maximum of 32 characters. If the bulk
configuration exceeds 32 characters, it is represented by an ellipsis ( ... ).
Configure multiple ranges
In this example, the interface range ethernet range command was used to select multiple ranges in order to
configure the speed of the specified range of ports.
Figure 7-91. Using Multiple Ranges
Note that spaces are also not allowed around commas when specifying the range.
If the
interface range command specifies multiple port ranges, the resulting prompt displays the low and
high ends of the range. Similarly, if overlapping port ranges are specified, the port range is extended to the
smallest start port and the biggest end port.

Force10 (conf)#interface range ethernet 2/0/1-2/0/10,3/0/1-3/0/10
Force10 (conf-if-range-et-2/0/1-3/0/10)#speed 100 full-duplex
