Usage Guidelines
You can use the macro trace macro-name interface configuration command to apply and show the
macros running on an interface or to debug the macro to find any syntax or configuration errors.
If a command fails because of a syntax error or a configuration error when you apply a macro, the macro
continues to apply the remaining commands to the interface.
When creating a macro that requires the assignment of unique values, use the parameter value keywords
to designate values specific to the interface.
Keyword matching is case sensitive. All matching occurrences of the keyword are replaced with the
corresponding value. Any full match of a keyword, even if it is part of a larger string, is considered a
match and is replaced by the corresponding value.
Some macros might contain keywords that require a parameter value. You can use the macro apply
macro-name ? command to view a list of any required values in the macro. If you apply a macro without
entering the keyword values, the commands are invalid and are not applied.
There are Cisco-default Smartports macros embedded in the switch software. You can display these
macros and the commands they contain by using the show parser macro user EXEC command.
