Hi,

sorry for the late reply.

Yes I do have an example but as this is our live network I can't post
the full config here.

I did trace the commit script and in the trace log I see that the
config for the interfaces is not expanded and the interface-range
statements are still there. (I assume that the trace log would show
the expanded config?).

Here is an example from the trace file:

...

<interface-range>
<name>CUST-DMZ-PORT</name>
<member-range>
<name>ge-0/0/0</name>
<end-range>ge-0/0/3</end-range>
</member-range>
<description>customer DMZ</description>
<unit>
<name>0</name>
<family>
<ethernet-switching>
<port-mode>access</port-mode>
<vlan>
<members>CUST-DMZ</members>
</vlan>
</ethernet-switching>
</family>
</unit>
</interface-range>

...

<interface>
<name>ge-0/0/0</name>
<unit>
<name>0</name>
<family>
<ethernet-switching>
</ethernet-switching>
</family>
</unit>
</interface>

...



This is with EX4200 VC running 10.4R6.5. The commit script checks if
every active interface has a description and currently it emits a
warning for every interface, even if the description is set in the
interface-range for that interface.

Regards

Sebastian
