Bulk Configuration; Using Interface Range Mode - Dell Force10 S2410-01-10GE-24P Configuration Manual

Bulk Configuration

Bulk configuration means configuring groups of interfaces (physical or logical) with the same
command(s).
You have these bulk configuration options:
• Global: Make system-level changes in the Global Config mode. For example, to enable all ports, enter
no shutdown all
mode.
• Interface Config mode: SFTOS 2.5.1 introduced the ability to configure a range of ports with the
tagged
Interface Range modes.
• Interface Range mode: Select one or more sequences of interfaces — ports or logical interfaces
(VLAN or LAG) — with the
example, see

Using Interface Range Mode

An interface range is a user-selected set of interfaces — ports, VLANs, or port channels — to which you
can apply the same configuration change. If you have a stack of S50s, the list of ports in the interface range
can include more than one stack member.
There must be at least one valid interface within the range. Bulk configuration excludes from configuration
any non-existing interfaces from an interface range. A default VLAN may be configured only if the
interface range being configured consists of only VLAN ports.
In combination with the parameter values you include, the
range and accesses the Interface Range mode, where you can execute the commands that are applied to that
range of interfaces.
The interface range prompt offers the interface (with slot and port information) for valid interfaces. The
maximum size of an interface range prompt is 32. If the prompt size exceeds this maximum, it displays (...)
at the end of the output.
Note: When creating an interface range, interfaces appear in the order they were entered and
are not sorted.
The System Configuration chapter in the SFTOS Command Reference provides syntax details on the
commands used in the Interface Range mode.
