Configuring And Using Interface Range Macros - Cisco IE-3000-8TC Software Configuration Manual

Using Interface Configuration Mode
•
This example shows how to use the interface range global configuration command to set the speed on
ports 1 to 2 to 100 Mb/s:
Switch# configure terminal
Switch(config)# interface range gigabitethernet1/1 - 2
Switch(config-if-range)# speed 100
This example shows how to use a comma to add different interface type strings to the range to enable
Fast Ethernet ports 1 to 3 and Gigabit Ethernet ports 1 and 2 to receive flow-control pause frames:
Switch# configure terminal
Switch(config)# interface range fastethernet1/1 - 3, gigabitethernet1/1 - 2
Switch(config-if-range)# flowcontrol receive on
If you enter multiple configuration commands while you are in interface-range mode, each command is
executed as it is entered. The commands are not batched and executed after you exit interface-range
mode. If you exit interface-range configuration mode while the commands are being executed, some
commands might not be executed on all interfaces in the range. Wait until the command prompt
reappears before exiting interface-range configuration mode.

Configuring and Using Interface Range Macros

You can create 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 global configuration command
string, you must use the define interface-range global configuration command to define the macro.
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to define an interface range macro:
Command
Step 1 configure terminal
Step 2
define interface-range macro_name
interface-range
Step 3 interface range macro macro_name
Step 4
end
Step 5 show running-config | include define
Step 6 copy running-config startup-config
Use the no define interface-range macro_name global configuration command to delete a macro.

All interfaces defined in a range must be the same type (all Fast Ethernet ports, all Gigabit Ethernet
ports, all EtherChannel ports, or all VLANs), but you can enter multiple ranges in a command.
Purpose
Enter global configuration mode.
Define the interface-range macro, and save it in NVRAM.
• The macro_name is a 32-character maximum character string.
A macro can contain up to five comma-separated interface
•
ranges.
• Each interface-range must consist of the same port type.
Select the interface range to be configured using the values saved in
the interface-range macro called macro_name.
You can now use the normal configuration commands to apply the
configuration to all interfaces in the defined macro.
Return to privileged EXEC mode.
Show the defined interface range macro configuration.
(Optional) Save your entries in the configuration file.
