Unable to copy/paste configuration

[smirkoliver]

Recently decided to replace my SGE2000 switch with a Catalyst 3560 PoE. I have never actually configured a switch myself, but I have copy/pasted configuration via terminal without any issue.

In this case, I keep getting an error of "% Invalid input detected at '^' marker." on most of the commands inserted.

Example:

Switch(config)#interface range ethernet all
                               ^
% Invalid input detected at '^' marker.

What is the deal?

Can you hit '?' after getting into the config mode?

Example:

Cisco-6509(config)#?
Configure commands:
aaa Authentication, Authorization and Accounting.
access-list Add an access list entry
aclmerge aclmerge hidden keyword
alias Create command alias
alps Configure Airline Protocol Support
analysis Specify vlans and tie them to analysis modules
anomaly-guard Specify vlans and tie them to anomaly-guard modules
aon Specify vlans and tie them to AON modules
apollo Apollo global configuration commands

<full output omitted>

And then check if interface command is listed there.

I do see interface as a command in the config mode.

Can you please check if you got privilege level 15?

Core-6509#sh privilege
Current privilege level is 15

Current Privilege level is 15.

If the command wouldn't execute normally, it won't interpret correctly.

Switch(config)#interface range ethernet all
                               ^
% Invalid input detected at '^' marker.

==========

int range gi 0/1-48 might be supported, but the designation "ethernet all" I believe is not valid on a 3560 family.

Ah, that makes sense. Looking through some documentation, I notice that the actual port range has to be designated. I appreciate the help.
