01-Bulk Interface Configuration | 57.77 KB |
You can enter interface range view to bulk configure multiple interfaces with the same feature instead of configuring them one by one. For example, you can perform the shutdown command in interface range view to shut down a range of interfaces.
Failure of applying a command on one member interface does not affect the application of the command on the other member interfaces. If applying a command on one member interface fails, the system displays an error message and continues with the next member interface.
Configuration guidelines
When you bulk configure interfaces in interface range view, follow these restrictions and guidelines:
· In interface range view, only the commands supported by the first interface are available.
· Do not assign an aggregate interface and any of its member interfaces to an interface range at the same time. Some commands, after being executed on both an aggregate interface and its member interfaces, can break up the aggregation.
· No limit is set on the maximum number of interfaces in an interface range. The more interfaces in an interface range, the longer the command execution time.
· The maximum number of interface range names is only limited by the system resources. To guarantee bulk interface configuration performance, configure interface range names fewer than 1000.
Configuration procedure
To bulk configure interfaces:

Command |
Remarks |
1. Enter system view. |

N/A |
2. Enter interface range view. |
·
Approach 1: ·
Approach 2: |
Use either approach. In approach 2, you assign a name to an interface range and can specify this name rather than the interface range to enter the interface range view. |
3. Display commands available for the first interface in the interface range. |
Enter ? at the interface range prompt. |
Optional. |
4. Perform available commands to configure the interfaces. |
Available commands vary by interface. |

5. Verify the configuration. |
