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.
Configuration restrictions and 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.
•
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 |
interface-number.subnumber } command.
•
Do not assign both an aggregate interface and any of its member interfaces to an interface
range. 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 limited only by the system resources. To
guarantee bulk interface configuration performance, configure fewer than 1000 interface range
names.
•
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 member interfaces in the interface range.
−If the execution failed on the first member interface in the interface range, the command
is not executed on any member interfaces.
−If the execution failed on non-first member interfaces, the command takes effect on the
other 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.
Configuration procedure
Step Command Remarks
1. Enter system view. system-view N/A

2
Step Command Remarks
2. Enter interface range
view.
•interface range
{ interface-type
interface-number [ to
interface-type
interface-number ] } &<1-24>
•interface range name name
[ interface { interface-type
interface-number [ to
interface-type
interface-number ] }
&<1-24> ]
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. N/A
4. Use available
commands to configure
the interfaces. Available commands depend on
the interface. N/A
5. (Optional.) Verify the
configuration. display this N/A
Displaying and maintaining bulk interface

Execute the display command in any view.
Task Command
Display information about the interface ranges
created by using the interface range name
command. display interface range [name name ]

Configuring Ethernet interfaces
The Switch Series supports Ethernet interfaces, management Ethernet interfaces, and Console
interfaces.
Your device supports the following types of Ethernet interfaces:
•
Layer 2 Ethernet interfaces—Physical Ethernet interfaces operating at the data link layer
(Layer 2) to switch packets.
•
Layer 3 Ethernet interfaces—Physical Ethernet interfaces operating at the network layer
(Layer 3) to route packets. You can assign an IP address to a Layer 3 Ethernet interface.
•
Layer-configurable Ethernet interfaces—Physical Ethernet interfaces that can be configured
to operate in bridge mode as Layer 2 Ethernet interfaces or in route mode as Layer 3 Ethernet
interfaces.
•
Layer 3 Ethernet subinterfaces—Logical interfaces operating at the network layer. You can
assign an IP address to a Layer 3 Ethernet subinterface. On a Layer 3 Ethernet interface, you
can create multiple Layer 3 subinterfaces.
This chapter describes how to configure management Ethernet interfaces and Ethernet interfaces.
Configuring a management Ethernet interface
About management Ethernet interface
A management Ethernet interface uses an RJ-45/LC connector. You can connect the interface to a
PC for software loading and system debugging, or connect it to a remote NMS for remote system
management.
Restrictions and guidelines
The management Ethernet interface can be a copper port or fiber port.
•
By default, the duplex mode is auto for a copper port and full for a fiber port. The duplex
command cannot modify the duplex mode to any value other than the default for the copper port
or fiber port.
•
By default, the speed is auto for a copper port and 1000 Mbps for a fiber port. The speed
command cannot modify the speed to any value other than the default for the copper port or
fiber port.
In standalone mode, when the switch has multiple management Ethernet interfaces, only the
management Ethernet interface on the active MPU processes management traffic.
In IRF mode, when an IRF system has multiple management Ethernet interfaces, only the
management Ethernet interface on the global active MPU processes management traffic.
