Understanding Interface Ranges on EX Series Switches
 | Note: This concept uses Junos OS for EX Series switches with support for the Enhanced Layer 2 Software (ELS) configuration style. If your switch runs software that does not support ELS, see Understanding Interface Ranges on EX Series Switches. For ELS details, see Getting Started with Enhanced Layer 2 Software. |
You can use the interface ranges to group interfaces of the same type that share a common configuration profile. This helps reduce the time and effort in configuring interfaces on Juniper Networks EX Series Ethernet Switches. The configurations common to all the interfaces can be included in the interface range definition.
The interface range definition contains the name of the interface range defined, the names of the individual member interfaces that do not fall in a series of interfaces, a range of interfaces defined in the member range, and the configuration statements common to all the interfaces. An interface range defined with member ranges and individual members but without any common configurations, is also a valid definition.
| Note: The interface range definition is supported only for Gigabit, 10-Gigabit, 40-Gigabit, and Fast Ethernet interfaces. |
The common configurations defined in the interface range will be overridden by the local configuration.
The defined interface ranges can be used at places where the interface node is used in the following configuration hierarchies:
- forwarding-options analyzer name input egress interface
- forwarding-options analyzer name input ingress interface
- poe interface
- protocols dot1x authenticator interface
- protocols igmp interface
- protocols isis interface
- protocols layer2-control bpdu-block interface
- protocols link-management peer name lmp-control-channel
- protocols link-management te-link name interface
- protocols lldp interface
- protocols lldp-med interface
- protocols mstp interface
- protocols oam ethernet link-fault-management interface
- protocols ospf area area-id interface
- protocols pim interface
- protocols router-advertisement interface
- protocols router-discovery interface
- protocols rsvp interface
- protocols sflow interfaces
- protocols vstp vlan vlan-id interface
- switch-options redundant-trunk-group group-name interface
- switch-options voip interface
