interface range not validated - command rejected

Oulkarnain

Hi

I am very new in CCNA study and I am trying to master Cisco IOS cmds. I am using cisco packet tracer. I am trying to up interfaces 2/0 - 2/3 all together but it doesnt work as below -

---

Router#show ip interface brief
Interface IP-Address OK? Method Status Protocol

FastEthernet0/0 unassigned YES unset administratively down down

FastEthernet0/1 unassigned YES unset administratively down down

FastEthernet0/2/0 unassigned YES unset administratively down down

FastEthernet0/2/1 unassigned YES unset administratively down down

FastEthernet0/2/2 unassigned YES unset administratively down down

FastEthernet0/2/3 unassigned YES unset administratively down down

Vlan1 192.168.1.1 YES manual administratively down down
Router#confi
Router#configure t
Router#configure terminal
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
Router(config)#interface range fastEthernet 2/0 - 3
interface range not validated - command rejected
Router(config)#

---

1. How to do no shutdown of interfaces 2/0 - 2/3 all together? Thanks in advance.

Example
FastEthernet0/1/0 unassigned YES unset administratively down down
FastEthernet0/1/1 unassigned YES unset administratively down down
FastEthernet0/1/2 unassigned YES unset administratively down down
FastEthernet0/1/3 unassigned YES unset administratively down down
interface range fastEthernet 0/1/0 - fa 0/1/3
no shutdown

You're missing out a 0 in your syntax. FastEthernet 0/2/0, FastEthernet 0/2/1
But when doing the range command you're just doing 2/0 not 0/2/0, try that.

Hi

I am trying this on a 2811 router and the output is as below -

Router#configure terminal
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
Router(config)#interface range fastEthernet 0/2/0 - 0/2/3
^
% Invalid input detected at '^' marker.


I have also configured a vlan for 0/2/0 - 0/2/3 as below -

Configuring vlan1 on switch port 0/2/0 - 0/2/3 can have any influence that may restrict from executing the interface range cmd in the above mentioned ports?

Hi Again

Please note the ^ sign is just under 0/2/3 of interface range fastEthernet 0/2/0 - 0/2/3.

Hi Oulkarnain, I think the problem is the syntax of your command "Router(config)#interface range fastEthernet 0/2/0 - 0/2/3". It should be "Router(config)#interface range fastEthernet 0/2/0 - 3".When using the interface range command, you should not include the full serial port number in the last range. Include only the last number of the serial port number.

"Configuring vlan1 on switch port 0/2/0 - 0/2/3 can have any influence that may restrict from executing the interface range cmd in the above mentioned ports? "

It will not influence it. Vlan 1 is created by default.

I hope this helps, goodluck!

Thanks, it worked

does this go for GigabitEthernet also?

TBAM327

this is what i tried

interface range g1/1 - 2

Context help is your friend

The following are all valid! As long as you have the listed interfaces these will work.

int range g0/1 - 5
int range f0/1 - 5,g0/1 - 3
int range f0/1,g0/1

OK - Here is what worked for me in PT.
I was getting the same error from PT. It was a syntax error on my part (ugh). So, I ran the sh run to see how the spacing looks.

sw(config)#int range fastEthernet 0/0 - fastEthernet 0/12
interface range not validated - command rejected
sw(config)#int
sw(config)#interface fa 0/0 <

---

I can't even get into an interface
%Invalid interface type and number
sw(config)#do sh run

!
interface FastEthernet0/1
!
interface FastEthernet0/2
!
interface FastEthernet0/3 <

---

did a copy
!

sw(config)#int FastEthernet0/1
sw(config-if)#exi <

---

OK, not I can actually get an interface
sw(config)#int raFastEthernet0/1
sw(config)#int ra FastEthernet0/1 - 12
sw(config-if-range)#sw acc vlan 10 <

---

Working
sw(config-if-range)#do sh vlan br

dave0/0

Meant to say in the above post sw(config-if)#exi <

---

OK, now I can actually get an interface
