Chapter 9 Configuring Interface Characteristics
Configuring Ethernet Interfaces
• All interfaces defined as in a range must be the same type (all Fast Ethernet ports, all Gigabit
Ethernet ports, all EtherChannel ports, or all VLANs), but you can combine multiple interface types
in a macro.
This example shows how to define an interface-range named enet_list to include ports 1 and 2 and to
verify the macro configuration:
Switch# configure terminal
Switch(config)# define interface-range enet_list gigabitethernet0/1 - 2
Switch(config)# end
Switch# show running-config | include define
define interface-range enet_list GigabitEthernet0/1 - 2
This example shows how to create a multiple-interface macro named macro1 and assign all of the
interfaces in the range to a VLAN:
Switch# configure terminal
Switch(config)# define interface-range macro1 fastethernet0/1 - 2, gigabitethernet0/1 - 2
Switch(config)# interface range macro macro1
Switch(config-if-range)# switchport access vlan 20
Switch(config-if-range)# no shut
Switch(config-if-range)# end
This example shows how to enter interface range configuration mode for the interface-range
macro enet_list:
Switch# configure terminal
Switch(config)# interface range macro enet_list
Switch(config-if-range)#
This example shows how to delete the interface-range macro enet_list and to verify that it was deleted.
Switch# configure terminal
Switch(config)# no define interface-range enet_list
Switch(config)# end
Switch# show run | include define
Switch#
