Exclude Duplicate Entries
The following is an example showing how duplicate entries are omitted from the interface-range prompt.
Example of the Interface-Range Prompt for Duplicate Interfaces
Dell(conf)#interface range vlan 1 , vlan 1 , vlan 3 , vlan 3
Dell(conf-if-range-vl-1,vl-3)#
Dell(conf)#interface range gigabitethernet 2/1 - 23 , gigabitethernet 2/1 - 23 , gigab 2/1 -
23
Dell(conf-if-range-gi-2/1-23)#
Exclude a Smaller Port Range
The following is an example show how the smaller of two port ranges is omitted in the interface-range prompt.
Example of the Interface-Range Prompt for Multiple Port Ranges
Dell(conf)#interface range gigabitethernet 2/1 - 2/23 , gigab 2/1 - 2/10
Dell(conf-if-range-gi-2/1-2/23)#
Overlap Port Ranges
The following is an example showing how the interface-range prompt extends a port range from the smallest start port number to the
largest end port number when port ranges overlap. handles overlapping port ranges.
Example of the Interface-Range Prompt for Overlapping Port Ranges
Dell(conf)#interface range gigabitethernet 2/1 - 2/11 , gi 2/1 - 2/23
Dell(conf-if-range-gi-2/1-23)#
Commas
The following is an example of how to use commas to add different interface types to the range, enabling all GigabitEthernet interfaces in
the range 5/1 to 5/23 and both GigabitEthernet interfaces 1/1 and 1/2.
Example of Adding Interface Ranges
Dell(config-if)# interface range gigabitethernet 5/1 - 23, gigabitethernet 1/1 - 2
Dell(config-if-range-gi-5/1-23)# no shutdown
Dell(config-if-range-gi-5/1-23)#
Add Ranges
The following example shows how to use commas to add VLAN and port-channel interfaces to the range.
Example of Adding VLAN and Port-Channel Interface Ranges
Dell(config-if-range-gi-1/1-1/2)# interface range Vlan 2 – 100 , Port 1 – 25
Dell(config-if-range-gi-1/1-1/2-vl-2-100-po-1-25)# no shutdown
Defining Interface Range Macros
You can define an interface-range macro to automatically select a range of interfaces for configuration.
Before you can use the macro keyword in the interface-range macro command string, define the macro.
To define an interface-range macro, use the following command.
• Defines the interface-range macro and saves it in the running configuration file.
CONFIGURATION mode
define interface-range macro_name {vlan vlan_ID - vlan_ID | {{gigabitethernet |
tengigabitethernet} slot/port - slot/port}} [ , {vlan vlan_ID - vlan_ID | {{gigabitethernet |
tengigabitethernet} slot/port - slot/port}]
