Smartport Macros
A Smartport macro is a script of CLI commands that configure an interface
appropriately for a particular network device.
Smartport macros should not be confused with global macros. Global macros
configure the device globally, however, the scope of a Smartport macro is limited
to the interface on which it is applied.
The macro source may be found by running the show parser macro name
[macro_name] command in privileged exec mode of the CLI or by clicking the
View Macro Source button on the Smartport Type Settings page.
A macro and the corresponding anti-macro are paired together in association with
each Smartport type. The macro applies the configuration and the anti-macro
removes it.
There are two types of Smartport macros:
•Built-In—These are macros provided by the system. One macro applies the
configuration profile and the other removes it. The macro names of the built-
in Smartport macros and the Smartport type they are associated with as
follows
-macro-name (for example: printer)
-no_macro-name (for example: no_printer)
•User-Defined—These are macros written by the users. See the CLI
Reference Guide for more information about these. To associate a user
defined macro to a Smartport type, its anti macro must be defined as well.
-smartport-type-name (for example: my_printer)
-no_smartport-type-name (for example: no_my_printer)
Smartport macros are bound to Smartport types in the Edit Smartpor t Type
Setting page.
See Built-in Smartport Macros for a listing of the built-in Smartport macros for
each device type.
