Bulk Configuring Interfaces; Configuration Restrictions And Guidelines; Configuration Procedure - H3C S10500 Series Interface 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 restrictions and 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.
•
Before you configure an interface as the first interface in an interface range, make sure you can
enter the view of the interface by using the interface interface-type { interface-number |
interface-number.subnumber } command.
•
Do not assign both an aggregate interface and any of its member interfaces to an interface
range. 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 limited only by the system resources. To
guarantee bulk interface configuration performance, configure fewer than 1000 interface range
names.
•
After a command is executed in interface range view, one of the following situations might
occur:
The system displays an error message and stays in interface range view. It means that the
execution failed on member interfaces in the interface range.
− If the execution failed on the first member interface in the interface range, the command
− If the execution failed on non-first member interfaces, the command takes effect on the
The system returns to system view. It means that:
− The command is supported in both system view and interface view.
− The execution failed on a member interface in interface range view and succeeded in
− The command is not executed on the subsequent member interfaces.
You can use the display this command to verify the configuration in interface view of each
member interface. In addition, if the configuration in system view is not needed, use the
undo form of the command to remove the configuration.
