Using SmartPorts
The SmartPorts feature consists of two macros that simplify voice configuration on the Catalyst 6500
series switches. The SmartPorts macros cover all the voice configuration tasks that are required for
implementing the recommended Architecture for Voice, Video, and Integrated Data (AVVID) settings
for a voice port.
SmartPorts focuses on the voice networks that are built using the Cisco IP Phone 79xx series and the
Cisco SoftPhone. With SmartPorts, you use the
ciscoipphone
or
ciscosoftphone
keywords to initiate the
macros that specify the type of voice parameters that you desire on a particular port.

Understanding SmartPorts Macros
When you execute the SmartPorts macros on a port using the
ciscoipphone
or
ciscosoftphone
keywords,
these features are implemented:
•
The port is enabled.
•
The Layer 2 protocol is disabled for CDP, STP, and VTP.
•
The port membership is set to “static.”
•
The
set port host
command is executed on the port.
•
The specified data VLAN is associated with the port.
•
The global automatic QoS command is executed.
