114 Using the CLI
Operating on Multiple Objects (Range)
The CLI allows the user to operate on the set of objects at the same time. The guidelines are as
follows for range operation:
• Operations on objects with four or more instances support the range operation.
•The
range
key word is used to identify the range of objects on which to operate.
• The range may be specified in the following manner:
(#-#) — a range from a particular instance to another instance (inclusive). For example,
1/g1-g10 indicates that the operation applies to the gigabit Ethernet ports 1 to 10 on unit 1.
(#, #, #) — a list of non-consecutive instances. For example, (1/g1, 1/g3,1/g5) indicates that
the operation applies to the gigabit Ethernet ports 1, 3, and 5 on unit 1.
(#, #-#, #) — ranges and non-consecutive instances listed together. For example, (1/g1,
1/g3-g5, 1/g7) indicates that the operation applies to the gigabit Ethernet ports 1, 7, and 3 to
5 on unit 1.
NOTE: Each # must be a fully qualified port identifier, that is, type<unit>/<port_type><port_number>,
where unit is 1-12, port_type is g or xg and port_number is 1-24 or 1-48 in the case of port_type g and 1-4
for port_type xg. The following formats are allowed:(#-#,#), (#,#-#,#), (#,#-#,#-#,#). For LAG, use “
interface
range port-channel 1-48
”.
• When operating on a range of objects, the CLI implementation hides the parameters that
may not be configured in a range (for example, parameters that must be uniquely configured
for each instance).
• The CLI uses best effort when operating on a list of objects. If the user requests an operation
on a list of objects, the CLI attempts to execute the operation on as many objects in the list as
possible even if failure occurs for some of the items in the list. The CLI provides the user with
a detailed list of all failures, listing the objects and the reasons for the failures.
• Some parameters must be configured individually for each port or interface.
