Service Manual

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 Points 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[/
subport] 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.
Example (Bulk)
Dell(conf)#interface range tengigbitethernet 1/1 - 1/11,
fortyGigbE 3/50, tengigbitethernet 3/10
% Warning: Non-existing ports (not configured) are ignored by
interface-range
Example (Multiple
Ports)
Dell(conf)#interface range tengigabitethernet 2/10 - 2/23,
tengigabitethernet 2/12 - 2/17
Dell(conf-if-range-te-2/10-2/23)#
Example
(Overlapping Ports)
Dell(conf)#interface range tengigabitethernet 2/3 - 2/11,
tengigabitethernet 2/3 - 2/23
Dell(conf-if-range-te-2/3-2/23)#
Usage Information
Only VLAN and port-channel interfaces created using the interface vlan and
interface port-channel 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 and port-channel only those respective interfaces
should be configured in a particular range.
Example (Single
Range)
This example shows a single range bulk configuration.
Dell(config)# interface range tengigabitethernet 5/3 - 5/23
Dell(config-if-range-te-5/3-5/23)# no shutdown
Dell(config-if-range-te-5/3-5/23)#
