NOTE Resetting the interface of unknown type does not reset the configuration
performed by the macro that failed. This clean up must be done manually.
To assign a Smartport type to an interface or activate Auto Smartport on the
interface:
STEP 1 Select an interface and click Edit.
STEP 2 Enter the fields.
•Interface—Select the port or LAG.
•Smartport Type—Displays the Smartport type currently assigned to the
port/LAG.
•Smartport Application—Select the Smartport type from the Smartpor t
Application pull-down.
•Smartport Application Method— If Auto Smartport is selected, Auto
Smartport automatically assigns the Smartport type based on the CDP and /
or LLDP advertisement received from the connecting devices as well as
applying the corresponding Smartport macro. To statically assign a
Smartport type and apply the corresponding Smartport macro to the
interface, select the desired Smartport type.
•Persistent Status—Select to enable the Persistent status. If enabled, the
association of a Smartport type to an interface remains even if the interface
goes down, or the device is rebooted. Persistent is applicable only if the
Smartport Application of the interface is Auto Smartport. Enabling Persistent
at an interface eliminates the device detection delay that otherwise occurs.
•Macro Parameters—Displays the following fields for up to three parameters
in the macro:
-Parameter Name—Name of parameter in macro.
-Parameter Value—Current value of parameter in macro. This can be
changed here.
-Parameter Description—Description of parameter.
STEP 3 Click Reset to set an interface to D efault if it is in Unknown st atus (as a result of an
unsuccessful macro application). The macro can be reapplied on the main page.
STEP 4 Click Apply to update the changes and assign the Smartport type to the interface.
