Using Interface Configuration Mode

Configuring and Using Interface Range Macros

You can create an interface range macro to automatically select a range of interfaces for configuration.
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
Step 4
end
Step 5 show running-config | include define
Step 6 copy running-config startup-config
Use the no define interface-range macro_name global configuration command to delete a macro.
When using the define interface-range global configuration command, note these guidelines:

Valid entries for interface-range:
– vlan vlan-ID - vlan-ID, where the VLAN ID is 1 to 4094
– gigabitethernet module/{first port} - {last port}, where the module is always 0 (for
nonstacking-capable switches)
gigabitethernet stack member/module/{first port} - {last port}, where the module is always 0
(for stacking-capable switches)
tengigabitethernet module/{first port} - {last port}, where the module is always 0 (for
–
nonstacking-capable switches)
tengigabitethernet stack member/module/{first port} - {last port}, where the module is
always 0 (for stacking-capable switches)
port-channel port-channel-number - port-channel-number, where the port-channel-number
–
is 1 to 64.
When you use the interface ranges with port channels, the first and last port-channel
Note
number must be active port channels.
You must add a space between the first interface number and the hyphen when entering an
interface-range. For example, gigabitethernet1/0/1 - 4 is a valid range; gigabitethernet1/0/1-4 is
not a valid range.
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 using 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.
Return to privileged EXEC mode.
Show the defined interface range macro configuration.
(Optional) Save your entries in the configuration file.
