Faster way to setup a lot of VLANs

[steve.emmert1]

I am setting up 240 VLANs on 5 SF300-48 switches, and the step that assigns a VLAN ID to a port in access mode is very tedious.  I just finished 48 of them and I have 192 more to do.  It would be nice if there was a step like "Join VLAN ID 401-448 on ports FE1-FE48" that would do 48 ports at once, but I have to set them up one at a time and each one takes 8 mouse clicks.  Is there a faster way?

That's a task for the CLI, not the GUI.

Two ways:

1. Prepare one VLAN and do a copy paste in an editor for the rest, then paste everything into the CLI.
2. Script it (with the scripting-language of your choice) to generate the config you need to paste it into the CLI.
