Configuring Static SmartPort Macros
This section describes how to configure and enable static SmartPort macros:
• Default SmartPort Macro Configuration, page 21-3
• SmartPort Macro Configuration Guidelines, page 21-6
• Applying Static SmartPort Macros, page 21-14
Default Static SmartPort Configuration
No static SmartPort macros are enabled on the switch.
Static SmartPort Configuration Guidelines
• When a macro is applied globally to a switch or to a switch interface, all existing configuration on
the interface is retained. it is helpful when applying an incremental configuration.
• If a command fails because of a syntax or a configuration error, the macro continues to apply the
remaining commands. Use the macro global trace macro-name global configuration command or
the macro trace macro-name interface configuration command to apply and debug a macro to find
any syntax or configuration errors.
• Some CLI commands are specific to certain interface types. If you apply a macro to an interface that
does not accept the configuration, the macro fails the syntax or the configuration check, and the
switch returns an error message.
• Applying a macro to an interface range is the same as applying a macro to a single interface. When
you use an interface range, the macro is applied sequentially to each interface within the range. If a
macro command fails on one interface, it is still applied to the remaining interfaces.
• When you apply a macro to a switch or a switch interface, the macro name is automatically added
to the switch or interface. You can display the applied commands and macro names by using the
show running-config user EXEC command.

Description
cisco-global Use this global configuration macro to enable rapid PVST+, loop guard, and dynamic port error recovery
for link state failures.
cisco-desktop Use this interface configuration macro for increased network security and reliability when connecting a
desktop device, such as a PC, to a switch port.
cisco-phone Use this interface configuration macro when connecting a desktop device such as a PC with a Cisco IP
Phone to a switch port. This macro is an extension of the cisco-desktop macro and provides the same
security and resiliency features, but with the addition of dedicated voice VLANs to ensure proper
treatment of delay-sensitive voice traffic.
cisco-switch Use this interface configuration macro when connecting an access switch and a distribution switch or
between access switches connected by using small form-factor pluggable (SFP) modules.
cisco-router Use this interface configuration macro when connecting the switch and a WAN router.
