Configuring Smartports Macros

Cisco also provides a collection of pretested, Cisco-recommended baseline configuration templates for

Catalyst switches and Cisco Systems Intelligent Gigabit Ethernet Switch Modules. The online reference

guide templates provide the CLI commands that you can use to create Smartports macros based on the

usage of the port. You can use the configuration templates to create Smartports macros to build and

deploy Cisco-recommended network designs and configurations. For more in formation about

Cisco-recommended configuration templates, see this Smartports website:

Configuring Smartports Macros

You can create a new Smartports macro or use an existing macro as a template t o create a new macro

that is specific to your application. After you create the macro, you can apply it globally to a switch or

to a switch interface or range of interfaces.

This section includes information about:

•Default Smartports Macro Configuration, page 8-2

•Smartports Macro Configuration Guidelines, page 8-2

•Creating Smartports Macros, page 8-4

•Applying Smartports Macros, page 8-5

•Applying Cisco-Default Smartports Macros, page 8-6

There are no Smartports macros enabled.

Follow these guidelines when configuring macros on your switch:

•When creating a macro, do not use the exit or end commands or change the command mode by using

interface interface-id. This could cause commands that follow exit, end, or interface interface-id

to execute in a different command mode.

•When creating a macro, all CLI commands should be in the same configuration mode.

cisco-switch Use this interface configuration macro when connecting an access switch and a

distribution switch.

cisco-router Use this interface configuration macro when connecting the switch and a WAN

router.

cisco-wireless Use this interface configuration macro when connecting the switch and a wireless

access point.

1. Cisco-default Smartports macros vary de pending on the software version running on your switch.
