Configuring Port Characteristics 455
For example, to enter Interface Configuration mode for 10-Gigabit Ethernet 
port 10, use the following command:
console(config)#interface tengigabitEthernet 1/0/10
For many features, you can configure a range of interfaces. When you enter 
Interface Configuration mode for multiple interfaces, the commands you 
execute apply to all interfaces specified in the range. 
To enter Interface Configuration mode for a range of interfaces, include the 
keyword range and specify the interfaces to configure. For example, to apply 
the same configuration to ports 1-10 on a standalone switch, use the 
following command:
console(config)#interface range tengigabitEthernet 
1/0/1-10
To enter Interface Configuration mode for ports 3, 4, 5, 12, and 14 on a 
standalone switch, use the following command:
console(config)#interface range tengigabitEthernet 
1/0/3-5,1/0/12,1/0/14
NOTE: When you enter Interface Configuration mode, the command prompt 
changes and identifies the interface. In the previous example, the command 
prompt becomes console(config-if-Te1/0/10)#
.
NOTE: You can switch to another interface or range of interfaces by entering the 
interface command while in Interface Configuration mode. It is not necessary to 
exit Interface Configuration mode to select a different interface.
