Commas
The example below shows how to use commas to add different interface types to the range, enabling all
Gigabit Ethernet interfaces in the range 5/1 to 5/23 and both Ten Gigabit Ethernet interfaces 1/1 and 1/2.

Add ranges
The example below shows how to use commas to add VLAN and port-channel interfaces to the range.

Interface Range Macros
The user can define 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 command string, you
must define the macro.
To define an interface-range macro, enter this command:
Define the Interface Range
This example shows how to define an interface-range macro named “test” to select Fast Ethernet interfaces
5/1 through 5/4:
Command Syntax Command Mode Purpose
define interface-range macro_name {vlan vlan_ID - vlan_ID} |
{{gigabitethernet | tengigabitethernet | fortyGigE} slot /
interface - interface} [ {vlan vlan_ID - vlan_ID}
{{gigabitethernet | tengigabitethernet | fortyGigE} slot/
interface - interface}]
CONFIGURATION Defines the interface-range
macro and saves it in the
running configuration file.
FTOS(config-if)# interface range gigabitethernet 5/1 - 23, tengigabitethernet 1/1 - 2
FTOS(config-if-range-gi-5/1-23)# no shutdown
FTOS(config-if-range-gi-5/1-23)#
FTOS(config-ifrange-gi-5/1-23-te-1/1-2)# interface range Vlan 2 – 100 , Port 1 – 25
FTOS(config-if-range-gi-5/1-23-te-1/1-2-so-5/1-vl-2-100-po-1-25)# no shutdown
FTOS(config-if-range)#
FTOS(config)# define interface-range test gigabitethernet 5/1 - 4
