Add Ranges
The following example shows how to use commas to add VLAN and port-channel interfaces to the
range.
Example of Adding VLAN and Port-Channel Interface Ranges
Dell(config-if-range-te-1/1/1-1/2/1)# interface range Vlan 2 – 100 , Port 1 – 25
Dell(config-if-range-te-1/1/1-1/2/1-vl-2-100-po-1-25)# no shutdown
Defining Interface Range Macros
You 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, define the
macro.
To define an interface-range macro, use the following command.
• Defines the interface-range macro and saves it in the running configuration file.
CONFIGURATION mode
define interface-range macro_name {vlan vlan_ID - vlan_ID |
{{tengigabitethernet | fortyGigE} slot/port/[subport] - slot/port/[subport]}}
[ , {vlan vlan_ID - vlan_ID | {{tengigabitethernet | fortyGigE} slot/
interfaceslot/port/[subport] - interfaceslot/port/[subport]}]
Define the Interface Range
The following example shows how to define an interface-range macro named “test” to select Ten Gigabit
Ethernet interfaces 5/1 through 5/4.
Example of the define interface-range Command for Macros
Dell(config)# define interface-range test tengigabitethernet 5/1/1 - 5/4/1
Choosing an Interface-Range Macro
To use an interface-range macro, use the following command.
• Selects the interfaces range to be configured using the values saved in a named interface-range
macro.
CONFIGURATION mode
interface range macro name
Example of Using a Macro to Change the Interface Range Configuration Mode
The following example shows how to change to the interface-range configuration mode using the
interface-range macro named “test.”
Dell(config)# interface range macro test
Dell(config-if)#
Monitoring and Maintaining Interfaces
Monitor interface statistics with the monitor interface command. This command displays an ongoing
list of the interface status (up/down), number of packets, traffic statistics, and so on.
To view the interface’s statistics, use the following command.
