Defining Interface Range Macros - Dell Force10 Z9000 Configuration Manual

Exclude Duplicate Entries
The following is an example showing how duplicate entries are omitted from the interface-range prompt.
Example of the Interface-Range Prompt for Duplicate Interfaces
Dell(conf)#interface range vlan 1 , vlan 1 , vlan 3 , vlan 3
Dell(conf-if-range-vl-1,vl-3)#
Dell(conf)#interface range tengigabitethernet 2/1 - 23 , tengigabitethernet 2/1 - 23 ,
tengigab 2/1 - 23
Dell(conf-if-range-te-2/1-23)#
Exclude a Smaller Port Range
The following is an example show how the smaller of two port ranges is omitted in the interface-range prompt.
Example of the Interface-Range Prompt for Multiple Port Ranges
Dell(conf)#interface range tengigabitethernet 2/1 - 23 , tengigab 2/1 - 10
Dell(conf-if-range-te-2/1-23)#
Overlap Port Ranges
The following is an example showing how the interface-range prompt extends a port range from the smallest start port number to
the largest end port number when port ranges overlap. handles overlapping port ranges.
Example of the Interface-Range Prompt for Overlapping Port Ranges
Dell(conf)#interface range tengigabitethernet 2/1 - 11 , te 2/1 - 23
Dell(conf-if-range-te-2/1-23)#
Commas
The following is an example of how to use commas to add different interface types to the range, enabling all TenGigabitEthernet
interfaces in the range 5/1 to 5/23 and both Ten Gigabit Ethernet interfaces 1/1 and 1/2.
Example of Adding Interface Ranges
Dell(config-if)# interface range tengigabitethernet 5/1 - 23, tengigabitethernet 1/1 - 2
Dell(config-if-range-te-5/1-23)# no shutdown
Dell(config-if-range-te-5/1-23)#
Add Ranges
The following example shows how to use commas to add VLAN and port-channel interfaces to the range.
Example of Adding VLAN and Port-Channel Interface Ranges
Dell(config-if-range-te-1/1-2)# interface range Vlan 2 – 100 , Port 1 – 25
Dell(config-if-range-te-1/1-2-so-5/1-vl-2-100-po-1-25)# no shutdown

Defining Interface Range Macros

You can define 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 command string, define the macro.
To define an interface-range macro, use the following command.
• Defines the interface-range macro and saves it in the running configuration file.
CONFIGURATION mode
define interface-range macro_name {vlan vlan_ID - vlan_ID} | {{gigabitethernet |
tengigabitethernet | fortyGigE} slot/interface - interface} [ , {vlan vlan_ID - vlan_ID}
{{gigabitethernet | tengigabitethernet | fortyGigE} slot/interface - interface}]
