interface range
This command permits conguration of a range of interfaces to which subsequent commands are applied (bulk conguration). Using the
interface range command, you can enter identical commands for a range of interface.
Syntax
interface range interface, interface,...
To delete a description, enter no description command.
Parameters
interface,
interface,...
Enter the keyword interface range and one of the interfaces — slot/port, port-channel or
VLAN number. Select the range of interfaces for bulk conguration. You can enter up to
six comma separated ranges—spaces are not required between the commas. Comma-
separated ranges can include VLANs, port-channels and physical interfaces.
Slot/Port information must contain a space before and after the dash. For example,
interface range tengigabitethernet 0/1 - 5 is valid; interface
range tengigabitethernet 0/1-5 is not valid.
• For a 10-Gigabit Ethernet interface, enter the keyword TenGigabitEthernet
followed by the slot/port information.
• For a VLAN, enter the keyword vlan followed by a number from 1 to 4094.

Usage Information When creating an interface range, interfaces appear in the order they are entered; they are not sorted. The
command veries that interfaces are present (physical) or congured (logical). Important things to remember:
• Bulk conguration is created if at least one interface is valid.
• Non-existing interfaces are excluded from the bulk conguration 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 conguration 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 specied, the port range is extended to the smallest start port and the biggest
end port.
