Configuring Smartports Macros

Table 11-1 Cisco-Default Smartports Macros (continued)
1
Macro Name Description
cisco-phone 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.
cisco-switch Use this interface configuration macro when connecting an access switch and a distribution switch or
between access switches connected using small form-factor pluggable (SFP) modules.
cisco-router Use this interface configuration macro when connecting the switch and a WAN router.
cisco-wireless Use this interface configuration macro when connecting the switch and a wireless access point.
1. Cisco-default Smartports 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 can use to
create Smartports macros based on the usage of the port. You can use the configuration templates to
create Smartports macros to build and deploy Cisco-recommended network designs and configurations.
For more information about Cisco-recommended configuration templates, see this Smartports website:

Configuring Smartports Macros
You can create a new Smartports 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 or
to a switch interface or range of interfaces.

When creating a macro, do not use the exit or end commands or change the command mode by using
interface interface-id. This could cause commands that follow exit, end, or interface interface-id
to execute in a different command mode.
When creating a macro, all CLI commands should be in the same configuration mode.
