Bulk configuring interfaces
You can enter interface range view to bulk configure multiple interfaces with the same feature instead of
configuring them one by one. For example, you can execute the shutdown command in interface range
view to shut down a range of interfaces.
Failure to apply a command on one member interface does not affect the application of the command
on the other member interfaces. If applying a command on one member interface fails, the system
displays an error message and continues with the next member interface.
Configuration guidelines
When you bulk configure interfaces in interface range view, follow these restrictions and guidelines:
• In interface range view, only the commands supported by the first interface are available. The first
interface is specified with the interface range command.
• If you cannot enter the view of an interface by using the interface interface-type interface-number
command, do not configure the interface as the first interface in the interface range.
• Do not assign an aggregate interface and any of its member interfaces to an interface range at the
same time. Some commands, after being executed on both an aggregate interface and its member
interfaces, can break up the aggregation.
• No limit is set on the maximum number of interfaces in an interface range. The more interfaces in
an interface range, the longer the command execution time.
• The maximum number of interface range names is only limited by the system resources. To
guarantee bulk interface configuration performance, H3C recommends that you configure fewer
than 1000 interface range names.
Configuration procedure
Step Command Remarks
1. Enter system view. system-view N/A
2. Enter interface range
view.
• interface range { interface-type
interface-number [ to
interface-type
interface-number ] } &<1-5>
• interface range name name
[ interface { interface-type
interface-number [ to
interface-type
interface-number ] } &<1-5> ]
Use either command.
By using the interface range name
command, you assign a name to an
interface range and can specify this
name rather than the interface range to
enter the interface range view.
3. (Optional.) Display
commands available for
the first interface in the
interface range.
Enter a question mark (?) at the
interface range prompt.
