Understanding Command Macros

Command macros provide a convenient way to save and share common configurations. You can use
command macros to enable features and settings based on the location of a switch in the network and for
mass configuration deployments across the network.
Each command macro is a set of command-line interface (CLI) commands that you define. Command
macros do not contain new CLI commands; they are simply a group of existing CLI commands.
When you apply a command macro on an interface, the CLI commands within the macro are configured
on the interface. When the macro is applied to an interface, the existing interface configurations are not
lost. The new commands are added to the interface and are saved in the running configuration file.
Configuring Command Macros
You can create a new command 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, to a
switch interface, or to a range of interfaces.
