Version Description
8.3.17.0 Supported on the M I/O Aggregator.
Usage 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.
• 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.

Gigabit Ethernet and
Ten Gigabit Ethernet
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.
Dell(conf-if)# interface range tengigabitethernet 5/1 - 23, tengigabitethernet
