Chapter 12 Configuring Interface Characteristics
Using Interface Configuration Mode
Use the no define interface-range macro_name global configuration command to delete a macro.
When using the define interface-range global configuration command, note these guidelines:
• Valid entries for interface-range, depending on port types on the switch:
– vlan vlan-ID, where the VLAN ID is 1 to 4094
Note Although the command-line interface shows options to set multiple VLANs, these
options are not supported on Catalyst 2960 switches.
– fastethernet stack member/module/{first port} - {last port}, where the module is always 0
– gigabitethernet stack member/module/{first port} - {last port}, where the module is always 0
– fastethernet module/{first port} - {last port}, where the module is always 0
– gigabitethernet module/{first port} - {last port}, where the module is always 0
– port-channel port-channel-number - port-channel-number, where the port-channel-number
is 1 to 6
Note When you use the interface range command 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-rang.
For example, gigabitethernet1/0/1 - 4 is a valid range; gigabitethernet1/0/1-4 is not.
• The VLAN interfaces must have been configured with the interface vlan command. The show
running-config privileged EXEC command displays the configured VLAN interfaces. VLAN
interfaces not displayed by the show running-config command cannot be used as interface-ranges.
• All interfaces defined as in a range must be the same type (all Fast Ethernet ports, all Gigabit
Ethernet ports, all EtherChannel ports, or all VLANs), but you can combine multiple interface types
in a macro.
This example shows how to define an interface-range named enet_list to include ports 1 and 2 and to
verify the macro configuration:
Switch# configure terminal
Switch(config)# define interface-range enet_list gigabitethernet1/0/1 - 2
Switch(config)# end
Switch# show running-config | include define
Switch# define interface-range enet_list gigabitethernet1/0/1 - 2
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.
