Bulk edit of interfaces

I have a very large number of nodes, and the loopback interfaces are all set to 10m, but the loopback is the fastest interface on most nodes, not the slowest. As a result all of our bandwidth warnings are dominated by loopback interfaces that are approaching or exceeding 10m. How can I bulk edit the bandwidth of all (or a group of) lo interfaces? Or is the only way to edit each interface? Can we set the default value of an unlimited interface to something higher than the lowest speed ethernet?

Maybe try this. GO to your Manage Nodes Screen. Change Show Nodes to Interfaces

Type in Loop in the search bar and click Search

Put a checkbox on several loopback interfaces and click Edit Properties

Check Bandwidth, then Custom Bandwidth, then enter whatever number you want. When you are done click Submit

@bobmarley You hit it on the head. That little trick in the node management interface has save me COUNTLESS times when dealing with loopback interfaces, and other common nuisances, umm, interfaces...
