The Reapply action also adds the interface to all newly-created VLANs.
STEP  2 Smartport Diagnostic.
If a Smartport macro fails, the Smartport Type of the interface is Unknown. Select 
an interface which is of unknown type and click Show Diagnostic. This displays 
the command at which application of the macro failed. See the workflow area in 
Common Smartport Tasks section for troubleshooting tips. Proceed to reapply 
the macro after correcting the problem.
STEP  3 Resetting all Unknown interfaces to Default type. 
• Select the 
Port Type
 equals to checkbox.
• Select 
Unknown 
and click Go.
• Click Reset All Unknown Smartports. Then reapply the macro as described 
above. This performs a reset on all interfaces with type Unknown, meaning 
that all interfaces are returned to the Default type. After correcting the error 
in the macro or on the current interface configuration or both, a new macro 
may be applied.
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 Smartport 
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.
