Description

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

Symptoms

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.

Solution

Command issued to add a group of interfaces to a VLAN:
root@dnd-26-plz# wildcard range set interfaces ge-0/0/[11-13,16,23,45] unit 0 family ethernet-switching vlan members v500


VLAN output after applying the configuration:

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:
