Configuring A Range Of Interfaces - Cisco Catalyst 2960 Software Configuration Manual

Using Interface Configuration Mode

Configuring a Range of Interfaces

You can use the interface range global configuration command to configure multiple interfaces with the
same configuration parameters. When you enter the interface-range configuration mode, all command
parameters that you enter are attributed to all interfaces within that range until you exit this mode.
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to configure a range of interfaces with the
same parameters:
Command
Step 1 configure terminal
Step 2 interface range {port-range | macro
macro_name}
Step 3
Step 4
end
Step 5 show interfaces [interface-id]
Step 6 copy running-config startup-config
When using the interface range global configuration command, note these guidelines:
•
Catalyst 2960 and 2960-S Switches Software Configuration Guide, Release 15.0(1)SE
12-20
Valid entries for port-range, depending on port types on the switch:
vlan vlan-ID, where the VLAN ID is 1 to 4094
–
Note Although the command-line interface shows options to set multiple VLANs, these
options are not supported on Catalyst 2960 and 2960-S switches.
gigabitethernet stack member/module/{first port} - {last port}, where the module is always 0
–
fastethernet module/{first port} - {last port}, where the module is always 0
–
gigabitethernet module/{first port} - {last port}, where the module is always 0
–
– port-channel port-channel-number - port-channel-number, where the port-channel-number
is 1 to 6
Note When you use the interface range command with port channels, the first and last
port-channel number must be active port channels.
Purpose
Enter global configuration mode.
Specify the range of interfaces (VLANs or physical ports) to be
configured, and enter interface-range configuration mode.
You can use the interface range command to configure up to five
•
port ranges or a previously defined macro.
The macro variable is explained in the
•
Interface Range Macros" section on page
In a comma-separated port-range, you must enter the interface
•
type for each entry and enter spaces before and after the comma.
• In a hyphen-separated port-range, you do not need to re-enter the
interface type, but you must enter a space before the hyphen.
Use the normal configuration commands to apply the configuration
parameters to all interfaces in the range. Each command is executed
as it is entered.
Return to privileged EXEC mode.
Verify the configuration of the interfaces in the range.
(Optional) Save your entries in the configuration file.
