Reference Guide

A port range must contain a space before and after the dash;
for example: interface range tengigabitethernet
0/1 - 5 is valid; interface range
tengigabitethernet 0/1-5
is not valid.
You can enter up to six comma-separated ranges. Separate
each interface type and port range with a space, comma,
and space; for example: interface range
tengigabitethernet 0/1 - 5 , interface range
tengigabitethernet 0/10 - 11
.
Comma-separated port ranges can include VLANs, port-
channels, and physical interfaces; for example: interface
range tengigabitethernet 0/1 - 5 , vlan 2 –
10 , port—channel 1 – 5.

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 Things 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
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 fc 0/0 - 5 , te 1/12 - 23 , te 3/36
- 47
% Warning: Non-existing ports (not configured) are ignored by
interface-range
Example
(Multiple Ports)
Dell(conf)#interface range te 1/12 - 23 , te 2/24 - 30

(Overlapping
