Configuring And Using Interface Range Macros - Cisco Catalyst 2360 Software Configuration Manual

Using Interface Configuration Mode

This example shows how to use the interface range global configuration command to set the speed to
100 Mb/s on ports 1 to 4:
Switch# configure terminal
Switch(config)# interface range gigabitethernet0/1 - 4
Switch(config-if-range)# speed 100
This example shows how to use a comma to add different interface type strings to the range to enable
Gigabit Ethernet ports 1 to 3 and 10-Gigabit Ethernet ports 1 and 2 to receive flow-control pause frames:
Switch# configure terminal
Switch(config)# interface range gigabitethernet0/1 - 3 , tengigabitethernet0/1 - 2
Switch(config-if-range)# flowcontrol receive on
If you enter multiple configuration commands while you are in interface-range mode, each command is
executed as it is entered. The commands are not batched and executed after you exit interface-range
mode. If you exit interface-range configuration mode while the commands are being executed, some
commands might not be executed on all interfaces in the range. Wait until the command prompt
reappears before exiting interface-range configuration mode.

Configuring and Using Interface Range Macros

You can create an interface range macro to automatically select a range of interfaces to configure. Before
you can use the macro keyword in the interface range macro global configuration command string,
you must use the define interface-range global configuration command to define the macro.
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to define an interface range macro:
Command
Step 1 configure terminal
Step 2
define interface-range macro_name
interface-range
Step 3 interface range macro macro_name

You must add a space between the first interface number and the hyphen when using the
interface range command. For example, the command interface range gigabitethernet0/1 - 4 is a
valid range; the command interface range gigabitethernet0/1-4 is not a valid range.
The interface range command only works with VLAN interfaces configured with the interface
vlan command. The show running-config privileged EXEC command displays the configured
VLAN interfaces. VLAN interfaces not displayed by the show running-config command cannot be
used with the interface range command.
All interfaces defined in a range must be the same type (all Gigabit Ethernet ports, all 10-Gigabit
Ethernet ports, all EtherChannel ports, or all VLANs), but you can enter multiple ranges in a
command.
Purpose
Enter global configuration mode.
Define the interface-range macro, and save it in NVRAM.
The macro_name is a 32-character maximum character string.
•
A macro can contain up to five comma-separated interface
•
ranges.
• Each interface-range must consist of the same port type.
Select the interface range to be configured with the values saved in the
interface-range macro called macro_name.
You can now use the normal configuration commands to apply the
configuration to all interfaces in the defined macro.
