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 (If
atleast one port
is configured)
DellEMC(conf)# interface range tengigbitethernet 1/1 - 1/11, fortyGigE
3/50, tengigbitethernet 3/10
% Warning: Non-existing ports (not configured) are ignored by
interface-range
Example (If no
ports are
configured within
the specified
interface range)
DellEMC(conf)# interface range tengigbitethernet 1/1 - 1/11, fortyGigE
3/50, tengigbitethernet 3/10
% Error: No port is configured in interface range
Example
(Configuration
Terminal Batch
Mode)
DellEMC(conf-b)#interface range te 1/1-4
DellEMC(conf-if-range-te-1/1-4)#
Example
(Multiple Ports)
DellEMC(conf)# interface range tengigabitethernet 2/10 - 2/23,
tengigabitethernet 2/12 - 2/17
DellEMC(conf-if-range-te-2/10-2/23)#
Example
(Overlapping
Ports)
DellEMC(conf)# interface range tengigabitethernet 2/3 - 2/11,
tengigabitethernet 2/3 - 2/23
DellEMC(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.
