Smartport Type Settings
Use the Smartport Type Settings page to edit the Smartport Type settings and 
view the Macro Source.
By default, each Smartport type is associated with a pair of built-in Smartport 
macros. See Smartport Types for further information on macro versus anti-macro. 
Alternatively, you can associate your own pair of user-defined macros with 
customized configurations to a Smartport type.   User-defined macros can be 
prepared only through CLI.   You should refer to the CLI reference guide for details.
Built-in or user-defined macros can have parameters. The built-in macros have up 
to three parameters.
Editing these parameters for the Smartport types applied by Auto Smartport from 
the Smartport Type Settings page configures the default values for these 
parameters. These defaults are used by Auto Smartport.
NOTE Changes to Auto Smartport types cause the new settings to be applied to 
interfaces which have already been assigned that type by Auto Smartport. In this 
case, binding an invalid macro or setting an invalid default parameter value causes 
all ports of this Smartport type to become unknown. 
STEP 1 Click Smartport > Smartport Type Settings.
STEP  2 To view the Smartport macro associated with a Smartport type, select a 
Smartport type and click View Macro Source.
STEP  3 To modify the parameters of a macro or assign a user-defined macro, select a 
Smartport type and click Edit.
STEP  4 Enter the fields.
• Port Type—Select a Smartport type.
• Macro Name—Displays the name of the Smartport macro currently 
associated with the Smartport type.
• Macro Type—Select whether the pair of macro and anti-macro associated 
with this Smartport type is built-in or user-defined.
• User Defined Macro—If desired, select the user-defined macro that is to be 
associated with the selected Smartport type.   The macro must have already 
been paired with an anti-macro. 
Pairing of the two macros is done by name and is described in the 
Smartport Macro section.
