Juniper switches add multiple interfaces to vlan at the same time

[EX/QFX] Wildcard range commands for EX switches

[KB23789] Show KB Properties

SUMMARY:

This article provides information about the wildcard range commands for EX switches.

PROBLEM OR GOAL:

The wildcard range option enables you to configure multiple interface configuration statements by using a single set command; instead of configuring each of them individually for interfaces. The range option with the wildcard command enables you to specify ranges in activate, deactivate, delete, protect, set, show, and unprotect commands.

//the following configuration effect is the same as the above

The end result is that the same configuration is applied to all of the above interfaces:

root@dnd-26-plz# set interfaces ge-0/0/11 unit 0 family ethernet-switching vlan members v500

root@dnd-26-plz# set interfaces ge-0/0/12 unit 0 family ethernet-switching vlan members v500

root@dnd-26-plz# set interfaces ge-0/0/13 unit 0 family ethernet-switching vlan members v500

root@dnd-26-plz# set interfaces ge-0/0/16 unit 0 family ethernet-switching vlan members v500

root@dnd-26-plz# set interfaces ge-0/0/23 unit 0 family ethernet-switching vlan members v500

root@dnd-26-plz# set interfaces ge-0/0/45 unit 0 family ethernet-switching vlan members v500

The same can be used for the following purposes - active, deactivate, delete, protect, set, show, and unprotect configuration commands.

This new option is documented in the Release Notes (including the link). For more information, refer to the following configuration example:
