Interface Range
An interface range is a set of interfaces to which other commands may be applied, and may be created if there is at least one valid interface
within the range. Bulk conguration excludes from conguring any non-existing interfaces from an interface range. A default VLAN may be
congured only if the interface range being congured consists of only VLAN ports.
The interface range command allows you to create an interface range allowing other commands to be applied to that range of
interfaces.
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)#
