Chapter 9
Configuring the Switch Interfaces

•
You must add a space between the interface numbers and the hyphen when using the
interface range command. For example, the command interface range fastethernet 0/1 - 5 is a
valid range; the command interface range fastethernet 0/1-5 is not a valid range.
The interface range command works only with VLAN interfaces that have been configured with
•
the interface vlan command (the show running-config privileged EXEC command output shows
the configured VLAN interfaces). VLAN interfaces that do not appear by using the show
running-config command cannot be used with the interface range command.
All interfaces in a range must be the same type; that is, all Fast Ethernet ports, all Gigabit Ethernet
•
ports, all EtherChannel ports, or VLAN interfaces.
This example shows how to use the interface range global configuration command to enable Fast
Ethernet interfaces 0/1 to 0/5:
Switch# configure terminal
Switch(config)# interface range fastethernet0/1 - 5
Switch(config-if-range)# no shutdown
Switch(config-if-range)#
*Oct
*Oct
*Oct
*Oct
*Oct
*Oct
changed state to up
*Oct
state to up
*Oct
state to up
This example shows how to use a comma to add different interface type strings to the range to enable all
Fast Ethernet interfaces in the range 0/1 to 0/3 and Gigabit Ethernet interfaces 0/1 and 0/2:
Switch# configure terminal
Switch(config)# interface range fastethernet0/1 - 3, gigabitethernet0/1 - 2
Switch(config-if-range)# no shutdown
Switch(config-if-range)#
*Oct
*Oct
*Oct
*Oct
*Oct
*Oct
changed state to up
*Oct
changed state to up
*Oct
changed state to up
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 together 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.
