int rang GigabitEthernet 0/1 - 7 won't work on Packet tracer

[mohamedayach]

Hello please look at this :

Switch#show ip int brief

Interface IP-Address OK? Method Status Protocol

Ethernet7/1 unassigned YES manual down down

Ethernet8/1 unassigned YES manual down down

Ethernet9/1 unassigned YES manual down down

You can see that my interfaces numbers start with the changing number port!

The issue is that when I issue this command: int rang GigabitEthernet 7/1 - 9 I get this :

Switch(config)#int rang GigabitEthernet 7/1 - 9

interface range not validated - command rejected

Switch(config)#

Please advise.

Packet tracer may not always work like a regular switch.

You need to purchase the full bundle of cisco packet tracer then you would be able to use it.

Please check the below output:

Switch(config)#int range fastEthernet 0/1-10
Switch(config-if-range)# >>> I am able to go in here.

It does work, from what was returned it appears you may not have specified the interfaces correctly, it doesn't look like they are Gigabit?

" int rang GigabitEthernet 7/1 - 9" would be the same as configuring the following commands:

int GigabitEthernet7/1

int GigabitEthernet7/2

int GigabitEthernet7/3

int GigabitEthernet7/4

int GigabitEthernet7/5

int GigabitEthernet7/6

int GigabitEthernet7/7

int GigabitEthernet7/8

int GigabitEthernet7/9

BUT: You entered "show ip int bri" and got:

Ethernet7/1

Ethernet8/1

Ethernet9/1

<-- it's not possible to configure this interfaces with an "int rang"-command! "range" only hits the last number after that /. Also that are Ethernet-interfaces, not GigabitEthernet!

had the same issue. determined that the port listed in the packet tracer documentation vs what was created was different. I got cmd rej.... but when i entered the correct port the command was successful.

Switch(config)#int range g1/1 - 2

interface range not validated - command rejected

So roll over the ports and verify you have the correct range. The command does work on PT version 6.2

use command "interface range g7/1 - g9/1".

use space before and after " - ".

This worked for me. But then next command is giving an error,

channel-group1 mode active
