www.dell.com | support.dell.com Bulk Configuration Bulk configuration means configuring groups of interfaces (physical or logical) with the same command(s). You have these bulk configuration options: • Global: Make system-level changes in the Global Config mode. For example, to enable all ports, enter no shutdown all in Global Config mode. You can then disable certain ports in the Interface Config mode. • Interface Config mode: SFTOS 2.5.1 introduced the ability to configure a range of ports with the tagged and untagged commands. You can use those commands from both the Interface Config and Interface Range modes. • Interface Range mode: Select one or more sequences of interfaces - ports or logical interfaces (VLAN or LAG) - with the interface range command, to configure with the same settings. For example, see Figure 7-90 and Figure 7-91 on page 127. Using Interface Range Mode An interface range is a user-selected set of interfaces - ports, VLANs, or port channels - to which you can apply the same configuration change. If you have a stack of S50s, the list of ports in the interface range can include more than one stack member. There must be at least one valid interface within the range. Bulk configuration excludes from configuration any non-existing interfaces from an interface range. A default VLAN may be configured only if the interface range being configured consists of only VLAN ports. In combination with the parameter values you include, the interface range command creates the interface range and accesses the Interface Range mode, where you can execute the commands that are applied to that range of interfaces. The interface range prompt offers the interface (with slot and port information) for valid interfaces. The maximum size of an interface range prompt is 32. If the prompt size exceeds this maximum, it displays (...) at the end of the output. Note: When creating an interface range, interfaces appear in the order they were entered and are not sorted. The System Configuration chapter in the SFTOS Command Reference provides syntax details on the commands used in the Interface Range mode. See the following section, Bulk Configuration Examples on page 127, for more on bulk configuration. See also, in this guide, the IEEE 802.1Q VLANs chapter (VLANs on page 207) and the section Using the Interface Range mode on page 174 in the LAG chapter. 126 | Configuring Interfaces
