Define the Interface Range

The following example shows how to define an interface-range macro named "test" to select Ten Gigabit Ethernet interfaces 5/1 through
5/4.
Example of the define interface-range Command for Macros
Dell(config)# define interface-range test tengigabitethernet 1/1/1/1 - 1/1/4/1

Choosing an Interface-Range Macro

To use an interface-range macro, use the following command.
• Selects the interfaces range to be configured using the values saved in a named interface-range macro.
CONFIGURATION mode
interface range macro name
Example of Using a Macro to Change the Interface Range Configuration Mode
The following example shows how to change to the interface-range configuration mode using the interface-range macro named "test."
Dell(config)# interface range macro test
Dell(config-if)#

Monitoring and Maintaining Interfaces

Monitor interface statistics with the monitor interface command. This command displays an ongoing list of the interface status (up/
down), number of packets, traffic statistics, and so on.
To view the interface's statistics, use the following command.
• View the interface's statistics.
EXEC Privilege mode
Enter the type of interface and the interface information:
• For a 10-Gigabit Ethernet interface, enter the keyword TenGigabitEthernet then the stack/slot/port/subport information.
• For a 25-Gigabit Ethernet interface, enter the keyword twentyFiveGigE then the stack/slot/port/subport information.
• For a 40-Gigabit Ethernet interface, enter the keyword fortyGigE then the stack/slot/port[/subport] information.
• For a 50-Gigabit Ethernet interface, enter the keyword fiftyGigE then the stack/slot/port/subport information.
• For a 100-Gigabit Ethernet interface, enter the keyword hundredGigE then the stack/slot/port information.
Example of the monitor interface Command
The information displays in a continuous run, refreshing every 2 seconds by default. To manage the output, use the following keys.
• m — Change mode
• l — Page up
• T — Increase refresh interval (by 1 second)
• t — Decrease refresh interval (by 1 second)
• c — Clear screen
• a — Page down
• q — Quit
