Smartport Properties
To configure the Smartport feature globally: 
STEP 1 Click Smartport > Properties.
STEP  2 Enter the parameters.
• Administrative Auto Smartport—Select to globally enable or disable Auto 
Smartport. The following options are available:
- Disable—Select to disable Auto Smartport on the device.
- Enable—Select to enable Auto Smartport on the device.
- Enable by Auto Voice VLAN—This enables Auto Smartport, but puts it in 
operation only when Auto Voice VLAN is also enabled and in operation.   
Enable by Auto Voice VLAN is the default.
• Operational Auto Smartport—Displays the Auto Smartport status.
• Auto Smartport Device Detection Method—Select whether incoming 
CDP, LLDP, or both types of packets are used to detect the Smartport type 
of the attaching device(s). At least one must be checked in order for Auto 
Smartport to identify devices.
• Operational CDP Status—Displays the operational status of CDP. Enable 
CDP if Auto Smartport is to detect the Smartport type based on CDP 
advertisement.
• Operational LLDP Status—Displays the operational status of LLDP. Enable 
LLDP if Auto Smartport is to detect the Smartport type based on LLDP/
LLDP-MED advertisement.
• Auto Smartport Device Detection—Select each type of device for which 
Auto Smartport can assign Smartport types to interfaces. If unchecked, Auto 
Smartport does not assign that Smartport type to any interface.
STEP  3 Click Apply. This sets the global Smartport parameters on the device.
