Chapter 11 Configuring Smartports Macros
Configuring Smartports Macros
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.

Default Smartports Macro Configuration
There are no Smartports macros enabled.
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.

Cisco-default Smartports macros vary depending on the software version running on your switch.
