Chapter 14 Configuring Auto Smartports Macros
Configuring Static Smartports Macros
Applying a macro to an interface range is the same as applying a macro to a single interface. When
you use an interface range, the macro is applied sequentially to each interface within the range. If a
macro command fails on one interface, it is still applied to the remaining interfaces.
When you apply a macro to a switch or a switch interface, the macro name is automatically added
to the switch or interface. You can display the applied commands and macro names by using the
show running-config user EXEC command.
Applying Static Smartports Macros
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to apply a static Smartports macro:
Command Purpose
Step 1 show parser macro Display the Cisco-default static Smartports macros embedded in the
switch software.
Step 2 show parser macro name macro-name Display the specific macro that you want to apply.
Step 3 configure terminal Enter global configuration mode.
Step 4 macro global {apply | trace}
macro-name [parameter {value}]
[parameter {value}] [parameter
{value}]
Apply each individual command defined in the macro to the switch by
entering macro global apply macro-name. Specify macro global trace
macro-name to apply and to debug a macro to find any syntax or
configuration errors.
Append the macro with the required values by using the parameter
value keywords. Keywords that begin with $ require a unique parameter
value.
You can use the macro global apply macro-name ? command to display
a list of any required values for the macro. If you apply a macro without
entering the keyword values, the commands are invalid and are not
applied.
(Optional) Specify unique parameter values that are specific to the
switch. You can enter up to three keyword-value pairs. Parameter
keyword matching is case sensitive. The corresponding value replaces
all matching occurrences of the keyword.
Step 5 interface interface-id (Optional) Enter interface configuration mode, and specify the interface
on which to apply the macro.
Step 6 default interface interface-id (Optional) Clear all configuration from the specified interface.
