Bulk Configuring Interfaces; Configuration Guidelines; Configuration Procedure - HP 3100 Series Configuration Manual

Bulk configuring interfaces

You can enter interface range view to bulk configure multiple interfaces with the same feature instead
of configuring them one by one. For example, you can perform the shutdown command in interface
range view to shut down a range of interfaces.
Failure of applying a command on one member interface does not affect the application of the
command on the other member interfaces. If applying a command on one member interface fails, the
system displays an error message and continues with the next member interface.

Configuration guidelines

When you bulk configure interfaces in interface range view, follow these restrictions and guidelines:
•
In interface range view, only the commands supported by the first interface are available.
•
Do not assign an aggregate interface and any of its member interfaces to an interface range at
the same time. Some commands, after being executed on both an aggregate interface and its
member interfaces, can break up the aggregation.
•
No limit is set on the maximum number of interfaces in an interface range. The more interfaces
in an interface range, the longer the command execution time.

Approach 2:

Remarks
N/A
Use either approach.
In approach 2, you assign a name to
an interface range and can specify
this name rather than the interface
range to enter the interface range
view.
