(Overlapping
Ports)
Dell(conf)# interface range gigabitethernet 2/3 - 2/11, gigabitethernet
2/3 - 2/23
Dell(conf-if-range-gi-2/3-2/23)#
Usage
Information
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 cannot 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 and port-channel interfaces, only commands related to physical
interfaces can be bulk configured. To configure commands specific to VLAN and port-channel only
those respective interfaces should be configured in a particular range.
Example (Single
Range)
This example shows a single range bulk configuration.
Dell(config)# interface range gigabitethernet 5/3 - 23
Dell(config-if-range-gi-5/3-5/23)# no shutdown
Dell(config-if-range-gi-5/3-5/23)#
Example
(Multiple Range)
This example shows how to use commas to add different interface types to a range of interfaces.
Dell(config-if)# interface range gigabitethernet 5/1 - 5/23,
gigabitethernet 1/1 - 1/2
Dell(config-if-range-gi-1/1-1/2,gi-5/1-5/23)# no shutdown
Dell(config-if-range-gi-1/1-1/2,gi-5/1-5/23)#
Example
(Multiple Range)
This example shows how to use commas to add VLAN and port-channel interfaces to the range.
Dell(config-if)# interface range gigabitethernet 5/1 - 5/23,
gigabitethernet 1/1 – 1/2,
Vlan 2–100, Port 1–25
Dell(config-if-range-gi-1/1-1/2,gi-5/1-5/23,vl-2-100,po-1-25)# no
shutdown
Dell(config-if-range)#
