How to add multiple interfaces to trusted zone using firewalld command?

Question

I am adding a particular interface as an trusted zone using below command

firewall-cmd --zone=trusted --change-interface=eth0

Now suppose I have multiple interfaces(like eth0, eth1, bond0, bond1) and I want to add all of them once, by executing the above command written in a bash script.

What will be the syntax and command for adding all the interfaces by executing above command once?

Solution

This will get all the device names and then proceed to run the command for every interface.

for i in $( ifconfig -a | sed 's/[ \t].*//;/^\(lo\|\)$/d' ); do
    firewall-cmd --zone=trusted --change-interface=$i
    echo "Added $i to trusted\n"
done

It would be really great if you can explain the working of this 's/[ \t].*//;/^(lo\|)$/d' syntax. Thanks

Lot to explain.. Look at this grymoire.com/Unix/SedChart.pdf . It will explain well what the syntax means.
