Administrator Guide

• Non-existing interfaces are excluded from the bulk configuration 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 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.
• If overlapping port ranges are specified, 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.
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 or port-channel, only those respective interfaces
should be configured in a particular range.

The following example shows how to use commas to add different interface types
to the range enabling all TenGigabit Ethernet interfaces in the range 5/1 to 5/23
and both Ten Gigabit Ethernet interfaces 1/1 and 1/2.
