Bulk Configuring Interfaces; Configuration Guidelines; Configuration Procedure - HP 6125XLG Configuration Manual

Bulk configuring interfaces

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 execute the shutdown command in interface range
view to shut down a range of interfaces.

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. The first
•
interface is specified with the interface range command.
If you cannot enter the view of an interface by using the interface interface-type interface-number
•
command, do not configure the interface as the first interface in the interface range.
• 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, HP recommends that you configure fewer than
1000 interface range names.
If a command fails to be executed on the first interface in the interface range, the command is not
•
executed on the other member interfaces. If the command fails to be executed on a non-first member
interface, the system executes the command in system view:
If the execution succeeds, the system stays in system view, and leaves the bulk configuration
process. The command is not executed on the subsequent member interfaces.
If the execution fails, the system enters interface range view, and continues to execute the
command on the subsequent member interfaces.
