To define an interface-range macro, enter this command: Command Syntax Command Mode Purpose Force10 (config)# define interface-range macro_name {vlan vlan_ID - vlan_ID} | {{gigabitethernet | tengigabitethernet} slot/interface - interface} [ , {vlan vlan_ID - vlan_ID} {{gigabitethernet | tengigabitethernet} slot/interface - interface}] CONFIGURATION Defines the interface-range macro and saves it in the running configuration file.
