Chapter 12 Configuring Smartports Macros
Configuring Smartports Macros
Cisco also provides a collection of pretested, Cisco-recommended baseline configuration templates for
Catalyst switches. The online reference guide templates provide the CLI commands that you can use to
create Smartports macros based on the usage of the port. You can use the configuration templates to
create Smartports macros to build and deploy Cisco-recommended network designs and configurations.
Configuring Smartports Macros
You can create a new Smartports macro or use an existing macro as a template to create a new macro
that is specific to your application. After you create the macro, you can apply it globally to a switch or
to a switch interface or range of interfaces.
These sections contain this configuration information:
• Default Smartports Macro Configuration, page 12-2
• Smartports Macro Configuration Guidelines, page 12-3
• Creating Smartports Macros, page 12-4
• Applying Smartports Macros, page 12-5
• Applying Cisco-Default Smartports Macros, page 12-6
Default Smartports Macro Configuration
There are no Smartports macros enabled.
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 using small form-factor pluggable (SFP) modules.
cisco-router Use this interface configuration macro when connecting the switch and a WAN router.
cisco-wireless Use this interface configuration macro when connecting the switch and a wireless access point.
cisco-ethernetip
2
Use this interface configuration macro when connecting the switch to an EtherNet IP device.
1. Cisco-default Smartports macros vary depending on the software version running on your switch.
2. You must first apply the cisco-ie-global macro for the cisco-ethernetip macro to work properly.
