The following screenshot illustrates the use of these commands (use a space before and after the hyphen):
Step Task Command Syntax Command Mode
1 Select all ports.
This example assumes that the stack ID is 0.
The prompt changes to:
Force10(conf-if-range-gi-0/1-24)#
interface range gi 0/1 - 24
(A space is required before and
after the dash in the command.)
CONFIGURATION
2 Enable the selected ports for Layer 2 switching.
