    interface range ethernet

Example:

  • Consecutive range of ports 14 through 15 would be:
    interface range ethernet 1/1/14-1/1/15.
  • Nonconsecutive range of ports 3,10,19 would be:
    interface range ethernet 3,10,19.

    switchport access vlan X

    show interface status
  3. Once the changes are validated, use the following command to save the changes to the startup configuration:
    write memory
