Editing a Macro

Macros cannot be edited. Modify a macro by creating a new macro with the same

name as the existing macro. The newer macro overwrites the existing macro.

The exceptions to this are the built-in macros and corresponding anti-macros for

the Smartport feature. You cannot override a Smartport macro. To change a

Smartport macro, create a new macro (my_macro) and an anti macro

(no_my_macro) and associate it with the Smartport type using the

smartport macro

Scope of Macro

It is important to consider the scope of any user-defined macro. Because of the

potential hazards of applying unintended configurations, do not change

configuration modes within the macro by using commands such as exit, end, or

interface-id

macros in the various configuration modes. Macros may be executed in Privileged

Exec mode, Global Configuration mode, and Interface Configuration mode (when

the interface is NOT a VLAN.)

Example 1 -The following example shows how to create a macro that configures

the duplex mode of a port.

switchxxxxxx(config)#

Enter macro commands one per line. End with the character '@'.

#macro description dup

. With a few exceptions, there are other ways of executing
