port-group group-member

Format

port-group group-member { { startIfName | interface-type-start interface-number-start } [ to { interface-number-end | interface-type-end endIfNum } ] } &<1-10>

Parameters

Parameter	Description	Value
startIfName	Specifies a start interface name.	-
interface-type-start interface-number-start to interface-type-end endIfNum	Specifies one or more interfaces to be added to a permanent interface group. interface-type-start interface-number-start indicates the first interface to be added to a permanent interface group. interface-type-end interface-number-end indicates the last interface to be added to a permanent interface group. The interface type specified using interface-type-start interface-number-start must be the same as that specified using interface-type-end interface-number-end. The interface-number-end value must be greater than to the interface-type-start value. The interface-type-start and interface-number-end values together determine an interface number range. The interfaces specified before and after the keyword to must have the same attribute. For example, they are both interfaces or sub-interfaces. If they are both sub-interfaces, they must belong to the same interface. If to interface-type-end interface-number-end is not specified, only the interface specified using interface-type-start interface-number-start is added. A maximum of 10 interface number ranges can be specified using to in a group-member command.	-
interface-number-end	Specifies an end interface name.	-

Parameter

Description

Value

startIfName

Specifies a start interface name.

-

interface-type-start interface-number-start to interface-type-end endIfNum

Specifies one or more interfaces to be added to a permanent interface group.

interface-type-start interface-number-start indicates the first interface to be added to a permanent interface group. interface-type-end interface-number-end indicates the last interface to be added to a permanent interface group.
The interface type specified using interface-type-start interface-number-start must be the same as that specified using interface-type-end interface-number-end. The interface-number-end value must be greater than to the interface-type-start value. The interface-type-start and interface-number-end values together determine an interface number range.
The interfaces specified before and after the keyword to must have the same attribute. For example, they are both interfaces or sub-interfaces. If they are both sub-interfaces, they must belong to the same interface.
If to interface-type-end interface-number-end is not specified, only the interface specified using interface-type-start interface-number-start is added.

A maximum of 10 interface number ranges can be specified using to in a group-member command.

-

interface-number-end

Specifies an end interface name.

Usage Guidelines

Usage Scenario

A switching device provides multiple interfaces, many of which have the same configuration. To simplify the configuration of interfaces, run the port-group command to create a permanent interface group and add interfaces to the permanent interface group. When you run a command in the interface group view, the system automatically applies the command to all the interfaces in the permanent interface group. In this manner, interfaces in a permanent interface group are configured in a batch.

If some interfaces need to be temporarily configured in a batch, run the port-group group-member command to create a temporary interface group. After you complete the batch configuration and exit the view of the temporary interface group, the temporary interface group is automatically deleted.

Configuration Impact

If the port-group group-member command is run more than once, all configurations take effect.

Precautions

Each temporary interface group supports a maximum of 512 interfaces.

Similar to the group-member command, the port-group group-member command adds one or more interfaces to a permanent interface group, implementing batch interface configurations. The differences between permanent and temporary interface groups are described as follows:

After a user exits the view of a temporary interface group, the system automatically deletes the temporary interface group. A permanent interface group, however, can be deleted only using the undo port-group command.
Information about a permanent interface group can be viewed using the display port-group command, whereas information about a temporary interface group cannot.
After a permanent interface group is configured, a configuration file is generated. However, no configuration file is generated after a temporary interface group is configured.

Example

# Add interfaces GE 0/1/2 and GE 0/1/3 to a temporary interface group and run the undo shutdown command in the view of the temporary interface group.
