When a parameter is required to define a range of ports or

parameters and all is an option, the default for the command

is all when no parameters are defined. For example, the

command interface range port-channel has the option of

either entering a range of channels, or selecting all. When the

command is entered without a parameter, it automatically

defaults to all.
