    Hi Nasir,

    I'm not aware of any such range command for MAC addresses. However, I've been using scripts of the following kind to do lengthy configurations on the junos boxes:


    #!/sbin/sh
    while [ 1 ] <<<< loop
    do
    /usr/sbin/cli -c "edit;<command>;commit;exit"
    sleep 60
    done

    you can choose the desired value for the loop and then use the variable within the script to generate the command. The /usr/sbin/cli is basically an inbuilt script that would take you to the operational mode.

    HTH,
    ankit
    #script
    #Automation
    #JUNOS
    #bash
