Configuring Smartports Macros
Cisco also provides a collection of pretested, Cisco-recommended baseline configuration templates for
Catalyst switches. 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 t emp la tes to
create Smartports macros to build and deploy Cisco-recommended network designs an d configurations.
For more information 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 cre ate a n ew ma cro
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.

Default Smartports Macro Configuration

There are no Smartports macros enabled.
cisco-phone Use this interface configuration macro when connecting a des ktop device suc h as a
PC with a Cisco IP Phone to a switch port. This macro is an extension of the
cisco-desktop macro and provides the same security and resiliency features, but with
the addition of dedicated voice VLANs to ensure proper treatment of delay-se nsitive
voice traffic.
cisco-switch Use this interface configuration macro when connecting an access switch and a
distribution switch or between access switches connected using small fo rm- factor
pluggable (SFP) modules.
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.
