Configuring Interfaces
Using Interface Configuration Mode
Switch(config-if-range)#
flowcontrol receive on
If you enter multiple configuration commands while you are in interface range mode, each command is executed as it is
entered. The commands are not batched together and executed after you exit interface range mode. If you exit interface
range configuration mode while the commands are being executed, some commands might not be executed on all
interfaces in the range. Wait until the command prompt reappears before exiting interface range configuration mode.
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.
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to define an interface range macro:
Use the no define interface-range macro_name global configuration command to delete a macro.
When using the define interface-range global configuration command, note these guidelines:

Valid entries for interface-range :
— vlan vlan-ID - vlan-ID , where the VLAN ID is 1 to 4094
— gigabitethernet module/{ first port } - { last port }, where the module is always 1
— tengigabitethernet module/{ first port } - { last port }, where the module is always 1
— port-channel port-channel-number - port-channel-number , where the port-channel-number is 1 to 10.
When you use the interface ranges with port channels, the first and last port channel number must be active port
channels.

You must add a space between the first interface number and the hyphen when entering an interface-range . For
example, GigabitEthernet1/17 - 18 is a valid range; GigabitEthernet1/17-18 is not a valid range.
Command Purpose
1. configure terminal Enter global configuration mode.
2. define interface-range macro_name
interface-range
Define the interface-range macro, and save it in NVRAM.

The macro_name is a 32-character maximum character string.

A macro can contain up to five comma-separated interface
ranges.

Each interface-range must consist of the same port type.
3. no shutdown Enable the port, if necessary. By default, UNIs and ENIs are disabled,
and NNIs are enabled.
4. interface range macro macro_name Select the interface range to be configured using the values saved in
the interface-range macro called
macro_name.
You can now use the normal configuration commands to apply the
configuration to all interfaces in the defined macro.
5. end Return to privileged EXEC mode.
6. show running-config | include define Show the defined interface range macro configuration.
7. copy running-config startup-config (Optional) Save your entries in the configuration file.
