What is a Smartport
A Smartport is an interface (port, VLAN or LAG) to which a built-in (or user-defined) macro
may be applied. Smartport types refers to the types of devices, which can be attached to
Smartports.
The MTS device supports the following Smartport types (named to describe the type of device
that is attached to the interface):
•
Printer
•
Desktop
•
Guest
•
Server
•
Host
•
IP Camera
•
IP phone
•
IP Phone+Desktop
•
Switch
•
Router
•
Wireless Access Point
Each Smartport type is associated with two Smartport macros.
•
The “macro” serves to apply the desired configuration
•
The “anti-macro” serves to undo all configuration performed by the macro when an
interface is attached to a different Smartport type.
