Understanding Smartports Macros

Smartports macros provide a convenient way to save and share common configurations. You can use
Smartports 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 Smartports macro is a set of command-line interface (CLI) commands that you define. Smartports
macros do not contain new CLI commands; they are simply a group of existing CLI commands.
When you apply a Smartports macro to 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.
There are global configuration and interface configuration Cisco-default Smartports macros embedded
in the switch software (see
commands they contain by using the show parser macro user EXEC command.
