Users Guide

The interface range prompt oers the interface (with slot and port information) for valid interfaces. The maximum size of an
interface range prompt is 32. If the prompt size exceeds this maximum, it displays (...) at the end of the output.
NOTE: Non-existing interfaces are excluded from interface range prompt.
NOTE: When creating an interface range, interfaces appear in the order they were entered and are not sorted.
To display all interfaces that have been validated under the interface range context, use the show range in Interface Range
mode.
To display the running conguration only for interfaces that are part of interface range, use the show configuration command
in Interface Range mode.
You can avoid specifying spaces between the range of interfaces, separated by commas, that you congure by using the
interface range command. For example, if you enter a list of interface ranges, such as interface range fo 2/0-1,te
10/0,gi 3/0,fa 0/0, this conguration is considered valid. The comma-separated list is not required to be separated by spaces
in between the ranges. You can associate multicast MAC or hardware addresses to an interface range and VLANs by using the mac-
address-table static multicast-mac-address vlan vlan-id output-range interface command.
Bulk Conguration Examples
The following are examples of using the interface range command for bulk conguration:
• Create a Single-Range
• Create a Multiple-Range
• Exclude a Smaller Port Range
• Overlap Port Ranges
• Commas
Create a Single-Range
Creating a Single-Range Bulk Conguration
Dell(conf)# interface range tengigabitethernet 0/1 - 23
Dell(conf-if-range-te-0/1-23)# no shutdown
Dell(conf-if-range-te-0/1-23)#
Create a Multiple-Range
Creating a Multiple-Range Prompt
Dell(conf)#interface range tengigabitethernet 0/5 - 10 , tengigabitethernet 0/1 , vlan
1
Dell(conf-if-range-te-0/5-10,te-0/1,vl-1)#
Exclude a Smaller Port Range
If the interface range has multiple port ranges, the smaller port range is excluded from the prompt.
Interface Range Prompt Excluding a Smaller Port Range
Dell(conf)#interface range tengigabitethernet 2/0 - 23 , tengigab 2/1 - 10
Dell(conf-if-range-te-2/0-23)#
Overlap Port Ranges
If overlapping port ranges are specied, the port range is extended to the smallest start port number and largest end port number.
Interface Range Prompt Including Overlapping Port Ranges
Dell(conf)#inte ra tengig 2/1 - 11 , tengig 2/1 - 23
Dell(conf-if-range-te-2/1-23)#
