Define the Interface Range
The following example shows how to define an interface-range macro named “test” to select 10–
GigabitEthernet interfaces 5/1 through 5/4.
Example of the define interface-range Command for Macros
Dell(config)# define interface-range test tengigabitethernet 5/1 - 4
Choosing an Interface-Range Macro
To use an interface-range macro, use the following command.
• Selects the interfaces range to be configured using the values saved in a named interface-range
macro.
CONFIGURATION mode
interface range macro name
Example of Using a Macro to Change the Interface Range Configuration Mode
The following example shows how to change to the interface-range configuration mode using the
interface-range macro named “test.”
Dell(config)# interface range macro test
Dell(config-if)#
Monitoring and Maintaining Interfaces
Monitor interface statistics with the monitor interface command. This command displays an ongoing
list of the interface status (up/down), number of packets, traffic statistics, and so on.
To view the interface’s statistics, use the following command.
• View the interface’s statistics.
EXEC Privilege mode
Enter the type of interface and slot/port information:
– For the Management interface, enter the keyword ManagementEthernet then the slot/port
information.
– For a 10-Gigabit Ethernet interface, enter the keyword TenGigabitEthernet then the slot/port
information.
– For a 40-Gigabit Ethernet interface, enter the keyword fortyGigE then the slot/port information.
Example of the monitor interface Command
The information displays in a continuous run, refreshing every 2 seconds by default. To manage the
output, use the following keys.
• m — Change mode
• l — Page up
• T — Increase refresh interval (by 1 second)
• t — Decrease refresh interval (by 1 second)
• c — Clear screen
