Service Manual

● 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)#
Example
(Multiple Range)
This 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 Tengigabit Ethernet interfaces 1/1 and
1/2.
Dell(config-if)# interface range tengigabitethernet 5/1 - 5/23,
tengigabitethernet 1/1 - 1/2
Dell(config-if-range-te-1/1-1/2,te-5/1-5/23)# no shutdown
Dell(config-if-range-te-1/1-1/2,te-5/1-5/23)#
Example
(Multiple Range)
This example shows how to use commas to add VLAN and port-channel interfaces to the range.
Dell(config-if)# interface range tengigabitethernet 5/1 - 1/23,
tengigabitethernet 1/1 – 1/2,
Vlan 2–100, Port 1–25
Dell(config-if-range-te-1/1-1/2,te-5/1-5/23,vl-2-100,po-1-25)# no
shutdown
Dell(config-if-range)#
