Chapter 11 Configuring Smartports Macros
Configuring Smartports Macros
Follow these guidelines when you apply a Cisco-default Smartports macro on an interface:
•
Display all macros on the switch by using the show parser macro user EXEC command. Display
the contents of a specific macro by using the show parser macro macro-name user EXEC
command.
•
Keywords that begin with $ mean that a unique parameter value is required. Append the
Cisco-default macro with the required values by using the parameter value keywords.
The Cisco-default macros use the $ character to help identify required keywords. There is no
restriction on using the $ character to define keywords when you create a macro.
Creating Smartports Macros
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to create a Smartports macro:
The no form of the macro name global configuration command only deletes the macro definition. It
does not affect the configuration of those interfaces on which the macro is already applied.
This example shows how to create a macro that defines the switchport access VLAN and the number of
secure MAC addresses and also includes two help string keywords by using # macro keywords:
Switch(config)#
macro name test
switchport access vlan $VLANID
switchport port-security maximum $MAX
#macro keywords $VLANID $MAX
@
Command
Purpose
Step 1
configure terminal
Enter global configuration mode.
Step 2
macro name macro-name
Create a macro definition, and enter a macro name. A macro definition
can contain up to 3000 characters.
Enter the macro commands with one 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.
(Optional) You can define 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. Separated by a
space, you can enter up to three help string keywords in a macro.
Macro names are case sensitive. For example, the commands macro
name Sample-Macro and macro name sample-macro will result in
two separate macros.
We recommend that you do not use the exit or end commands or change
the command mode by using interface interface-id in a macro. This
could cause any commands following exit, end, or interface
interface-id to execute in a different command mode. For best results,
all commands in a macro should be in the same configuration mode.
Step 3
end
Return to privileged EXEC mode.
Step 4
show parser macro name macro-name
Verify that the macro was created.
