interface range

Use interface range to create an interface range and enter the interface range view.

interface range interface-list

Parameters

interface-list: Specifies an interface list in the format of interface-list = { interface-type interface-number [ to interface-type interface-number ] }&<1-5>. The interface-type interface-number argument specifies an interface by its type and number. &<1-5> indicates that you can specify up to five interfaces or interface lists. When you specify the to keyword in interface-type interface-number1 to interface-type interface-number2, the interfaces before and after the to keyword must be on the same Ethernet interface card. The last-tier value of the interface number before to must not be greater than the one after to, and the values of the other tiers of the interface number before to must be the same as the one after to.

Usage guidelines

Use this command to enter interface range view to bulk configure multiple interfaces with the same feature instead of configuring them one by one. For example, run the shutdown command in interface range view to shut down a range of interfaces.

In interface range view, only the commands supported by the first interface are available. The first interface is specified with the interface range command. To view these commands in the interface range, enter the interface range view, and then enter ? at the prompt.

If the application of a command fails on one member interface, the application of the command on the other member interfaces is not affected. In this case, the system displays an error message and continues with the next member interface.

To verify the configuration of the first interface in the interface range, execute the display this command in interface range view.

To bulk configure interfaces, follow these guidelines:

·           Do not assign an aggregate interface together with 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.

Examples

# Shut down interfaces GigabitEthernet 3/0/1 through GigabitEthernet 3/0/24 and VLAN interface 2.

<Sysname> system-view

[Sysname] interface range GigabitEthernet 3/0/1 to GigabitEthernet 3/0/24 vlan-interface 2

[Sysname-if-range] shutdown

interface range name

Use interface range name name interface interface-list to create an interface range, configure a name for the interface range, and enter the interface range view.

Use interface range name name without the interface keyword to enter the view of an interface range with the specified name.

Use undo interface range name to delete the interface range with the specified name.

Syntax

interface range name name [ interface interface-list ]

undo interface range name name

Parameters

name: Specifies an interface range name, a case-sensitive string of 1 to 32 characters.

interface-list: Specifies an interface list in the format of interface-list = { interface-type interface-number [ to interface-type interface-number ] }&<1-5>. The interface-type interface-number argument specifies an interface by its type and number. &<1-5> indicates that you can specify up to five interfaces or interface lists. When you specify the to keyword in interface-type interface-number1 to interface-type interface-number2, the interfaces before and after the to keyword must be on the same Ethernet interface card. The last-tier value of the interface number before to must not be greater than the one after to, and the values of the other tiers of the interface number before to must be the same as the one after to.

Usage guidelines

You can use this command to assign a name to an interface range and can specify this name rather than the interface range to enter the interface range view.

In interface range view, only the commands supported by the first interface are available. The first interface is specified with the interface range command. To view the commands supported by the first interface in the interface range, enter the interface range view and enter a question mark (?) at the command line interface prompt.

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.

To verify the configuration of the first interface in the interface range, execute the display this command in interface range view.

To view the member interfaces of an interface range, use the display current-configuration | include "interface range" command.

To bulk configure interfaces, follow these guidelines:

·           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, H3C recommends configuring fewer than 1000 interface range names.

Examples

# Add GigabitEthernet 3/0/1 through GigabitEthernet 3/0/12 to interface range named myEthPort, and enter the interface range view.

<Sysname> system-view

[Sysname] interface range name myEthPort interface GigabitEthernet 3/0/1 to GigabitEthernet 3/0/12

[Sysname-if-range-myEthPort]

# Enter the view of interface range named myEthPort.

<Sysname> system-view

[Sysname] interface range name myEthPort

[Sysname-if-range-myEthPort]
