Configuring and Using Interface Range Macros
You can create 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 global configuration command string, you
must use the define interface-range global configuration command to define the macro.
SUMMARY STEPS
1. enable
2.
configure terminal
3. define interface-range macro_name interface-range
4. interface range macro macro_name
5.
end
6. show running-config | include define
7.
copy running-config startup-config
DETAILED STEPS
Purpose Command or Action
Enables privileged EXEC mode. Enter your password if prompted. enable Step 1
Example:
Switch> enable
Enters global configuration mode.
configure terminal
Example:
Switch# configure terminal
Step 2
Defines the interface-range macro, and save it in NVRAM. define interface-range macro_name
interface-range Step 3
• The macro_name is a 32-character maximum character string.
Example:
Switch(config)# define interface-range
• A macro can contain up to five comma-separated interface
ranges.
enet_list gigabitethernet1/0/1 - 2
• Each interface-range must consist of the same port type.
Before you can use the macro keyword in the interface
range macro global configuration command string, you
must use the define interface-range global configuration
command to define the macro.
Note
Selects the interface range to be configured using the values saved
in the interface-range macro called
macro_name .
interface range macro macro_name
Example:
Switch(config)# interface range macro
Step 4
You can now use the normal configuration commands to apply the
configuration to all interfaces in the defined macro.
