Usage Guidelines
A macro can contain up to 3000 characters. Enter one macro command per line. Use the
@
character to
end the macro. Use the
#
character at the beginning of a line to enter comment text within the macro.
You can define mandatory keywords within a macro by using a help string to specify the keywords. Enter
#
macro keywords
word
to define the keywords that are available for use with the macro. You can enter
up to three help string keywords separated by a space. If you enter more than three macro keywords,
only the first three are shown.
Macro names are case sensitive. For example, the commands
macro name Sample-Macro
and
macro
name sample-macro
will result in two separate macros.
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.
The
no
form of this command only deletes the macro definition. It does not affect the configuration of
those interfaces on which the macro is already applied. You can delete a macro-applied configuration
on an interface by entering the
default interface
interface-id
interface configuration command.
Alternatively, you can create an
anti-macro
for an existing macro that contains the
no
form of all the
corresponding commands in the original macro. Then apply the anti-macro to the interface.
macro-name
