Figure 3-1 Smartports Port Roles in a Catalyst Express Network
Apply this role to ports that will be connected to desktop devices and to
access points to provide guest wireless access.
This role provides guests and visitors temporary access to the Internet but
prevents them from accessing your internal network.
Apply this role to ports if you do not want to apply a specialized Smartports
role on the port. This role can be used on connections to guest or visitor
devices, printers, desktops, servers, and IP phones.
Note Do not apply this role to ports that will be connected to sniffer or
intrusion detection system devices.
