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 tengigabitethernet 2/1 - 23 , tengigab 2/1 - 10
Dell(conf-if-range-te-2/1-23)#
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 tengigabitethernet 2/1 - 11 , te 2/1 - 23
Dell(conf-if-range-te-2/1-23)#
Commas
The following is an example of how to use commas to add different interface types to a range of interfaces.
Example of Adding Interface Ranges
Dell(config-if)# interface range tengigabitethernet 5/1 - 23, tengigabitethernet
1/1 - 2
Dell(config-if-range-te-5/1-23,te1/1-2)# no shutdown
Dell(config-if-range-te-5/1-23,te1/1-2)#
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-te-1/1-2)# interface range Vlan 2 – 100 , Port 1 – 25
Dell(config-if-range-te-1/1-2-vl-2-100-po-1-25)# no shutdown
