In both cases, the associated anti-macro is run when the Smartport type is 
removed from the interface, and the anti-macro runs in exactly the same manner, 
removing all of the configuration.
Auto Smartport
In order for Auto Smartport to automatically assign Smartport types to interfaces, 
the Auto Smartport feature must be enabled globally and on the interfaces which 
Auto Smartport should be allowed to configure. By default, Auto Smartport is 
enabled and allowed to configure all interfaces. The Smartport type assigned to 
each interface is determined by the CDP and LLDP packets received on the each 
interface respectively.
• If multiple devices are attached to an interface, a configuration profile that is 
appropriate for all of the devices is applied to the interface if possible. 
• If a device is aged out (no longer receiving advertisements from other 
devices), the interface configuration is changed according to its Persistent 
Status. If the Persistent Status is enabled, the interface configuration is 
retained. If not, the Smartport Type reverts to Default.
Enabling Auto Smartport
Enabling Auto Smartport
Auto Smartport can be enabled globally in the 
Properties
 page in the following 
ways:
• Enabled—This manually enables Auto Smartport and places it into 
operation immediately.
• Enable by Auto Voice VLAN—This enables Auto Smartport to operate if, 
and only if, Auto Voice VLAN is enabled and in operation. Enable by Auto 
Voice VLAN is the default.
NOTE In addition to enabling Auto Smartport globally, you need to enable Auto Smartport 
at the desired interface as well. By default, Auto Smartport is enabled at all the 
interfaces.
See the Voice VLAN section for more information on enabling Auto Voice VLAN
