C H A P T E R 18 Configuring Smartport Macros - Cisco Catalyst 4500 Series Configuration Manual

Configuring SmartPort Macros
Cisco-default SmartPort macros are embedded in the switch software (see
these macros and the commands they contain by using the show parser macro user EXEC command.

1. Cisco-default SmartPort macros vary depending on the software version running on your switch.
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 use to
create SmartPort macros based on the use of the port. Use the configuration templates to create
SmartPort macros to build and deploy Cisco-recommended network designs and configurations.
Configuring SmartPort Macros
You can create a new SmartPort 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 to an interface or a range of
interfaces.

Description
Use this global configuration macro to enable rapid PVST+, loop guard, and dynamic
port error recovery for link state failures.
Use this interface configuration macro for increased network security and reliability
when connecting a desktop device, such as a PC, to a switch port.
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.
Use this interface configuration macro when connecting an access switch and a
distribution switch or between access switches connected using GigaStack modules
or GBICs.
Use this interface configuration macro when connecting the switch and a WAN
router.
