Command History
Usage Guidelines You can use the macro trace macro-name interface configuration command to apply and show the
macros running on an interface or to debug the macro to find any syntax or configuration errors.
If a command fails because of a syntax error or a configuration error when you apply a macro, the macro
continues to apply the remaining commands to the interface.
When creating a macro that requires the assignment of unique values, use the parameter value keywords
to designate values specific to the interface.
Keyword matching is case sensitive. All matching occurrences of the keyword are replaced with the
corresponding value. Any full match of a keyword, even if it is part of a larger string, is considered a
match and is replaced by the corresponding value.
Some macros might contain keywords that require a parameter value. You can use the macro apply
macro-name ? command to display a list of any required values in the macro. If you apply a macro
without entering the keyword values, the commands are invalid and are not applied.
When you apply a macro to an interface, the macro name is automatically added to the interface. You
can display the applied commands and macro names by using the
show running-configuration
interface interface-id user EXEC command.
apply Applies a macro to the specified interface.
trace Uses the trace keyword to apply a macro to an interface and to debug the macro.
macro - name Specifies the name of the macro.
parameter value (Optional) Specifies unique parameter values that are specific to the interface. You
can enter up to three keyword-value pairs. Parameter keyword matching is case
sensitive. All matching occurrences of the keyword are replaced with the
corresponding value.
