Chapter 6 Configuring Interfaces
Configuring a Range of Interfaces
Configuring a Range of Interfaces
The interface-range configuration mode allows you to configure multiple interfaces with the same
configuration parameters. After you enter the interface-range configuration mode, all command
parameters you enter are attributed to all interfaces within that range until you exit out of the
interface-range configuration mode.
To configure a range of interfaces with the same configuration, perform this task:
When configuring a range of interfaces, note the following syntax information:
• For information about macros, see the “Defining and Using Interface-Range Macros” section on
page 6-6.
• You can enter up to five comma-separated ranges.
• You are not required to enter spaces before or after the comma.
• With releases earlier than Release 12.1(26)E, you must add a space between the interface numbers
and the dash when using the interface range command. For example, interface range fastethernet
1 - 5 is valid syntax; interface range fastethernet 1-5 is invalid.
• With Release 12.1(26)E and later releases, you do not need to add a space between the interface
numbers and the dash when using the interface range command.
• With releases earlier than Release 12.1(14)E, the interface range command supports these interface
keywords:
–
ethernet
–
fastethernet
–
gigabitethernet
–
tengigabitethernet
• With Release 12.1(14)E and later releases, the interface range command supports these additional
interface keywords:
–
pos
–
loopback
–
tunnel
• With Release 12.1(14)E and later releases, you can use the no interface range command to delete
VLAN interfaces.
• With releases earlier than Release 12.1(14)E, you cannot use the no keyword with the range
keyword to delete VLAN interfaces.
• With Release 12.1(14)E and later releases, you can use the interface range command to create
VLAN interfaces.
Command Purpose
Router(config)# interface range
{{vlan vlan_ID - vlan_ID [, vlan vlan_ID - vlan_ID]}
| {type slot/port - port [, type slot/port - port]} |
{macro_name [, macro_name]}}
Selects the range of interfaces to be configured.
Router(config)# no interface range
{{vlan vlan_ID - vlan_ID [, vlan vlan_ID - vlan_ID]}
| {macro_name [, macro_name]}}
Selects the range of VLAN interfaces to remove.
