Configuring Smartport Using The Web-based Interface

NOTE There is no method to validate macro parameters because they do not have a type association.
Therefore, any entry is valid at this point. However, invalid parameter values may cause errors
to occur when the Smartport type is assigned to an interface, applying the associated macro.
Interface Settings
Use the Interface Settings page to perform the following tasks:
• Statically apply a specific Smartport type to an interface with interface-specific values
for the macro parameters.
• Enable Auto Smartport on an interface.
• Diagnose a Smartport macro that failed upon application, and caused the Smartport
type to become Unknown.
• Reapply a Smartport macro after it fails for all interfaces or for one of the following
types of interfaces: switch, router and AP. It is expected that the necessary corrections
have been made prior to clicking Apply. See the workflow area in Common Smartport
Tasks section for troubleshooting tips.
• Reapply a Smartport macro to an interface. In some circumstances, you may want to
reapply a Smartport macro so that the configuration at an interface is up to date. For
instance, reapplying a switch Smartport macro at a device interface makes the interface
a member of the VLANs created since the last macro application. You have to be
familiar with the current configurations on the device and the definition of the macro to
determine if a reapplication has any impact on the interface.
• Reset unknown interfaces. This sets the mode of Unknown interfaces to Default.
To apply a Smartport macro:
STEP 1 Click Smartport > Interface Settings.
To reapply the last Smartport macros that was associated with a group of interfaces, click one
of the following options:
• All Switches, Routers and Wireless Access Points—Reapplies the macros to all
interfaces.
• All Switches—Reapplies the macros to all interfaces defined as switches.
• All Routers —Reapplies the macros to all interfaces defined as routers.
