interface-id is in slot/port format for all
physical interfaces. It may be the VLAN
identifier for VLAN interfaces.
To configure multiple interfaces, use
the "interface range ..." command. To
provide a range, use a hyphen (-)
between the start and end interface
numbers. E.g.: int range gi 0/1-10
To provide multiple interfaces or
ranges, separate with a comma (,).
E.g.: int range gi 0/1-10, gi 0/20
If multiple interfaces are provided, the
next step will perform the particular
configuration on all these interfaces.
