Feature Overview

Using the VLAN Range feature, you can group VLAN subinterfaces together so that any command entered in a group applies to every subinterface within the group. This capability simplifies configurations and reduces command parsing.

Benefits

The VLAN Range feature provides the following benefits:

Simultaneous Configurations

Identical commands can be entered once for a range of subinterfaces, rather than being entered separately for each subinterface.

Overlapping Range Configurations

Overlapping ranges of subinterfaces can be configured.

Customized Subinterfaces

Individual subinterfaces within a range can be customized or deleted.

Restrictions

•Each command you enter while you are in interface configuration mode with the interface range command is executed as it is entered. The commands are not batched together for execution after you exit interface configuration mode. If you exit interface configuration mode while the commands are being executed, some commands might not be executed on some interfaces in the range. Wait until the command prompt reappears before exiting interface configuration mode.

•The no interface range command is not supported. You must delete individual subinterfaces to delete a range.

•Cisco 7401 ASR router

Platform Support Through Feature Navigator

Cisco IOS software is packaged in feature sets that support specific platforms. To get updated information regarding platform support for this feature, access Feature Navigator. Feature Navigator dynamically updates the list of supported platforms as new platform support is added for the feature.

Feature Navigator is a web-based tool that enables you to quickly determine which Cisco IOS software images support a specific set of features and which features are supported in a specific Cisco IOS image.

To access Feature Navigator, you must have an account on Cisco.com. If you have forgotten or lost your account information, send a blank e-mail to cco-locksmith@cisco.com. An automatic check will verify that your e-mail address is registered with Cisco.com. If the check is successful, account details with a new random password will be e-mailed to you. Qualified users can establish an account on Cisco.com by following the directions at http://www.cisco.com/register.

Feature Navigator is updated when major Cisco IOS software releases and technology releases occur. As of May 2001, Feature Navigator supports M, T, E, S, and ST releases. You can access Feature Navigator at the following URL:

http://www.cisco.com/go/fn

Supported Standards, MIBs, and RFCs

Standards

No new or modified standards are supported by this feature.

MIBs

No new or modified MIBs are supported by this feature.

To obtain lists of supported MIBs by platform and Cisco IOS release, and to download MIB modules, go to the Cisco MIB website on Cisco.com at the following URL:

http://www.cisco.com/public/sw-center/netmgmt/cmtk/mibs.shtml

RFCs

No new or modified RFCs are supported by this feature.

Configuration Tasks

See the following section for the configuration task for the VLAN Range feature.

•Configuring a Range of VLAN Subinterfaces (required)

Configuring a Range of VLAN Subinterfaces

To configure a range of VLAN subinterfaces, use the following commands beginning in global configuration mode:

Command

Purpose

Step 1

Router(config)# interface range {{ethernet | fastethernet | gigabitethernet | atm} slot/interface.subinterface - {{ethernet | fastethernet | gigabitethernet | atm}slot/interface.subinterface}

Selects the range of subinterfaces to be configured.

Note The spaces around the dash are required. For example, the command interface range fastethernet 1 - 5 is valid; the command interface range fastethernet 1-5 is not valid.

Step 2

Router(config-int-range)# encapsulation dot1Q vlan-id

Applies a unique VLAN ID to each subinterface within the range.

vlan-id—Virtual LAN identifier. The allowed range is from 1 to 4095.

The VLAN ID specified by the vlan-id argument is applied to the first subinterface in the range. Each subsequent interface is assigned a VLAN ID, which is the specified vlan-id plus the subinterface number minus the first subinterface number (VLAN ID + subinterface number - first subinterface number).

Verifying Configuration of a Range of Interfaces

•To verify subinterface configuration, enter the show running-config command.

•To verify that the subinterfaces have been created, enter the show interface command.

Configuration Examples

This section provides the following configuration example:

•Single Range Configuration Example

Single Range Configuration Example

The following example configures the Fast Ethernet subinterfaces within the range 5/1.1 and 5/1.4 and applies the following VLAN IDs to those subinterfaces:

Fast Ethernet5/1.1 = VLAN ID 301 (vlan-id)

Fast Ethernet5/1.2 = VLAN ID 302 (vlan-id = 301 + 2 - 1 = 302)

Fast Ethernet5/1.3 = VLAN ID 303 (vlan-id = 301 + 3 - 1 = 303)

Fast Ethernet5/1.4 = VLAN ID 304 (vlan-id = 301 + 4 - 1 = 304)
Router(config)# interface range fastethernet5/1.1 - fastethernet5/1.4 
Router(config-if)# encapsulation dot1Q 301
Router(config-if)# no shutdown 
Router(config-if)#
