Use interface range name name without the interface keyword to enter the view of a
named interface range.
Use undo interface range name to delete the interface range with the specified name.
Syntax

Parameters
name: Specifies an interface range name, a case-sensitive string of 1 to 32 characters.
interface-list: Specifies a space-separated list of up to 24 interface items. Each item specifies
an interface by its type and number or a subrange of interfaces in the form of
interface-type
interface-number1
to interface-type interface-number2. The start interface
number must be identical to or lower than the end interface number.
Usage guidelines
A named interface range is saved in the running configuration and can be used repeatedly to bulk
configure its member interfaces.
In interface range view, only the commands supported by the first interface in the specified interface
list (alphabetically sorted) are available for configuration. To view available commands, enter a
question mark (?) in interface range view.
After a command is executed in interface range view, one of the following situations might occur:
• The system displays an error message and stays in interface range view. It means that the
execution failed on one or multiple member interfaces.
{ If the execution failed on the first member interface, the command is not executed on any
member interfaces.
{ If the execution failed on a non-first member interface, the command takes effect on the
remaining member interfaces.
• The system returns to system view. It means that:
{ The command is supported in both system view and interface view.
{ The execution failed on a member interface in interface range view and succeeded in
system view.
{ The command is not executed on the subsequent member interfaces.
You can use the
display this command to verify the configuration in interface view of each
member interface. In addition, if the configuration in system view is not needed, use the
undo
form of the command to remove the configuration.
To verify the configuration of the first interface, you can execute the display this command in
interface range view.
To view the member interfaces of a named interface range, use the
display interface range
command.
When you bulk configure interfaces, follow these guidelines:
• Before you configure an interface as the first interface in an interface range, make sure you can
enter the view of the interface by using the
interface interface-type
interface-number command.
