Information
When creating an interface range, interfaces appear in the order they are entered; they are not sorted.
The command verifies that interfaces are present (physical) or configured (logical). Important things to
remember:
• Bulk configuration is created if at least one interface is valid.
• Non-existing interfaces are excluded from the bulk configuration with a warning message
(Figure 15-9).
• 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 configuration 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 (Figure 15-10).
• If overlapping port ranges are specified, the port range is extended to the smallest start port and the
biggest end port (Figure 15-11).

Only VLAN and port-channel interfaces created using the interface vlan and interface port-channel
commands can be used in the interface range command.
Use the show running-config command to display the VLAN and port-channel interfaces. VLAN or
port-channel interfaces that are not displayed in the show running-config command can not be used
with the bulk configuration feature of the interface range command. You cannot create virtual
interfaces (VLAN, Port-channel) using the interface range command.

Note: If a range has VLAN, physical, port-channel, and SONET interfaces, only commands
related to physical interfaces can be bulk configured. To configure commands specific to VLAN,
port-channel or SONET, only those respective interfaces should be configured in a particular
range.
