Chapter 1 Configuring Interface Characteristics
Using Interface Configuration Mode
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-range global configuration command to define the macro.
To define an interface range macro, follow these steps beginning in privileged EXEC 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:
– vlan vlan-ID - vlan-ID, where the VLAN ID is 1 to 4094
– gigabitethernet module/{first port} - {last port} (for 3560-X switches), where the module is
always 0
– gigabitethernet stack member/module/{first port} - {last port} (for 3750-X switches), where
the module is always 0
– tengigabitethernet module/{first port} - {last port} (for 3560-X switches), where the module
is always 0
tengigabitethernet stack member/module/{first port} - {last port} (for 3750-X switches),
where the module is always 0
gigabitethernet stack member/module/{first port} - {last port}, where the module is always 0
– tengigabitethernet stack member/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 48.
Note When you use the interface ranges with port channels, the first and last port-channel
number must be active port channels.
Command Purpose
Step 1
configure terminal Enters global configuration mode.
Step 2
define interface-range macro_name
interface-range
Defines the interface-range macro, and saves it in NVRAM.
• The macro_name is a 32-character maximum character string.
• A macro can contain up to five comma-separated interface ranges.
• Each interface-range must consist of the same port type.
Step 3
interface range macro macro_name Selects 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 Returns to privileged EXEC mode.
Step 5
show running-config | include define Shows the defined interface range macro configuration.
Step 6
copy running-config startup-config (Optional) Saves your entries in the configuration file.
