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-rangeglobal configuration command to define the macro.

Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to define an interface range macro:

	Command	Purpose
Step 1
	configure terminal	Enter global configuration mode.
Step 2
	define interface-range macro_name	Define the interface-range macro, and save it in NVRAM.
	interface-range	• The macro_name is a 32-character maximum character string.
		• A macro can contain up to five comma-separated interface ranges.
		• Each interface-rangemust consist of the same port type.
Step 3
	interface range macro macro_name	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.
Step 4
	end	Return to privileged EXEC mode.
Step 5
	show running-config include define	Show the defined interface range macro configuration.
Step 6
	copy running-config startup-config	(Optional) Save your entries in the configuration file.

Use the no define interface-rangemacro_name global configuration command to delete a macro. When using the define interface-rangeglobal configuration command, note these guidelines:

•Valid entries for interface-range:

–vlan vlan-ID- vlan-ID, where the VLAN ID is 1 to 4094

–gigabitethernet module/{first port} - {last port}, where the module is always 0 (for Catalyst 3560-E switches)

gigabitethernet stack member/module/{first port} - {last port}, where the module is always 0 (for Catalyst 3750-E switches)

–tengigabitethernet module/{first port} - {last port}, where the module is always 0 (for Catalyst 3560-E switches)

tengigabitethernet stack member/module/{first port} - {last port}, where the module is always 0 (for Catalyst 3750-E switches)

–port-channelport-channel-number - port-channel-number, where the port-channel-number is 1 to 48.

Note When you use the interface ranges with port channels, the first and last port-channel number must be active port channels.

•You must add a space between the first interface number and the hyphen when entering an interface-range. For example, gigabitethernet1/0/1 - 4 is a valid range; gigabitethernet1/0/1-4is not a valid range.
