portswitch batch
Function
The portswitch batch command changes the working mode of Ethernet interfaces from Layer 3 mode to Layer 2 mode in batches.
The undo portswitch batch command changes the working mode of Ethernet interfaces from Layer 2 mode to Layer 3 mode in batches.
By default, the working mode of the interface is Layer 2 mode.
Format
portswitch batch interface-type { interface-number1 [ to interface-number2 ] } &<1-10>
undo portswitch batch interface-type { interface-number1 [ to interface-number2 ] } &<1-10>
Parameters
| Parameter | Description | Value |
|---|---|---|
| interface-type interface-number1 [ to interface-number2 ] | Specifies interfaces of which the working mode needs to be changed.
NOTE:
You can specify a maximum of 10 interface number ranges at a time. The entered ranges cannot overlap. |

Usage Guidelines
Usage Scenario
You can run the portswitch batch or undo portswitch batch command to change the working mode of interfaces in batches.
Precautions
The mode switching function takes effect when the interface only has attribute configurations (for example, shutdown and description configurations). If the service configuration (for example, port link-type access configuration) exists on the interface, you must clear the service configuration before running this command.
The minimum interval between running the portswitch batch and undo portswitch batch commands must be 30s.
Only interfaces on the S5720-EI, S5720-HI, S5730-HI, S5731-H, S5731-S, S5731S-H, S5731S-S, S5732-H, S6720-EI, S6720-HI, S6720S-EI, S6730-H, S6730S-H, S6730-S, and S6730S-S support switching between Layer 2 and Layer 3 modes.
Ethernet interfaces working at Layer 3 support IP address configuration.
