Configuring a Range of Interfaces

You can use the interface range global configuration command to configure multiple interfaces with the
same configuration parameters. When you enter the interface-range configuration mode, all command
parameters that you enter are attributed to all interfaces within that range until you exit this mode.
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow thes e steps to configure a range of interfaces with the
same parameters:
When using the interface range global con figuration co mman d, note these gui delin es:
•Valid entries for port-range:
–
vlan vlan-ID - vlan-ID, wher e VLAN ID is from 1 to 1005 with t he SI installe d or 1 to 4094
with the EI installed
–
fastethernet slot/{first port} - {last port}, wh er e sl ot i s 0
Command Purpose
Step 1 configure terminal Enter globa l configurati on mode.
Step 2 interface range {port-range | macro
macro_name} Enter int erface- range con figuration mod e by enterin g the range of
interface s (VLAN s or physical ports) to be configured.
•You can use the interf ace range command to configure up to f ive
port ranges or a previously defined macro.
•The macro variab le is explai ned in th e “Configuri ng and Usin g
Interface-Range Macros” section on page 9-8.
•Each comma-separated port-range must co n sist of th e s a me por t
type. You do not need to enter spaces before or after the comma.
•When you def ine a range, the space between the first port and the
hyphen is req uired.
Step 3 You ca n n ow use th e no rma l c on figurat ion co mm an ds to a pply the
configuration parameters to all interfaces in the range.
Step 4 end Return to privileged EXEC mode.
Step 5 show interfaces [interface-id] Verify the configuration of the interfaces in the range.
Step 6 copy running-config startup-config (Optiona l) Save your entries in the co nfigurati on file.
