Cisco 2948G-L3 Configuration Question

If the ios will support the range command, the answer is yes. Not sure on the 2948s, all comes down to how modern the code is.

int range fastethernet (or gigabitethernet) 0/1 - 48 no shut

Shouldn't the configuration that I uploaded from the tftp server do a no shut on all the ports? It was a running-configuration from the other 2948G-L3.

Thanks

"No shut" doesn't show in the running or startup config text, and you probably had a default config of shutdown. Not sure how to change that on an IOS switch, but I'm sure there is a way. Else range works great.

There is no range command in this version of IOS.

I guess the real question is if the configuration on our production

2948G-L3 boots and all the ports are not in a shutdown state, why, when I download the same configuration to my spare 2948G all the interfaces in a shutdown state?

Thanks

Greetings,

It all depends on the last saved status of the H/W.

After loading the required config, unshut all required ports then SAVE the config on the same platform again and all subseqent power up's will use the last SAVED status of the ports

Thanks PK. I stumbled on that awful truth yesterday. Looks like there is no getting around it.

There is a really neat way of running a "no shut" on all the ports. You create a text file like the following:

int fasteth1 no shut exit int fasteth2 no shut exit int fasteth3 no shut exit int fasteth4 no shut exit int fasteth5 no shut exit int fasteth6 no shut exit int fasteth7 no shut exit int fasteth8 no shut exit | | | | int fasteth46 no shut exit int fasteth47 no shut exit int fasteth48 no shut exit int gigabiteth49 no shut exit int gigabiteth50 no shut end

Now you copy it from a TFTP server to the runnng-configuration.
