Applying a Smartport Type to an Interface

When Smartport types are applied to interfaces, the Smartport types and
configuration in the associated Smartport macros are saved in the Running
Configuration File. If the administrator saves the Running Configuration File into the
Startup Configuration File, the device applies the Smartport types and the
Smartport macros to the interfaces after reboot as follows:
• If the Startup Configuration File does not specify a Smartport type for an
interface, its Smartport type is set to Default.
• If the Startup Configuration File specifies a static Smartport type, the
Smartport type of the interface is set to this static type.
• If the Startup Configuration File specifies a Smartport type that was
dynamically assigned by Auto Smartport:
- If the Auto Smartport Global Operational state, the interface Auto
Smartport state, and the Persistent Status are all Enable, the Smartport
type is set to this dynamic type.
- Else the corresponding anti-macro is applied and the interfaces status is
set to Default.
A Smartport macro might fail if there is a conflict between the existing
configuration of the interface and a Smartport macro.
When a Smartport macro fails, a SYSLOG message containing the following
parameters is sent:
• Port number
• Smartport type
• The line number of the failed CLI command in the macro
When a Smartport macro fails on an interface, the status of the interface is set to
Unknown. The reason for the failure can be displayed in the Interface Settings
page, Show Diagnostics popup.
