macro auto global processing
macro auto glob al processi ng
Use the macro auto global pro cessing global configuration command to enable Auto SmartPorts
macros on the switch. Use the no form of this command to disable Auto SmartPorts (ASP) macros
globally.
macro auto global processing [cdp | lldp]
no macro auto global processing [ cdp | ldp]
Note Starting with Release 15.0(2)SG, the fallback option has been deprecated.
Syntax Description
Defaults Auto Smartports is disabled.
Command Modes Global configuration
Usage Guidelines Use the macro auto globa l processing global configuration command to globally enable Auto
Smartports macros on the switch. To disable ASP macros on a specific port, use the no macro auto
processing command in the interface mode before ASP is enabled globally.
Auto Smartports macros dynami cally configure ports base d on the device type detect ed on the port.
When the switch detects a new devic e on a po rt it applie s the appr opriate A SP macro. W hen a link- down
event occurs on a port, the switch removes the macro. For example, when you connect a Cisco IP phone
to a port, ASP automa tically applies t he IP phone macro. T he IP p hone macro e nables qu ality of service
(QoS), security features, and a dedicated voice VLAN to ensure proper treatment of delay-sensitive
voice traffic.
ASP uses event triggers to map devices to macros. The most common event triggers are based on
Cisco Discovery Pr otocol (CDP) messa ges re ceived from connecte d devi ces. The detection of a device
invokes a CDP event trigger : Cisco IP phone, Cisco wir eless access point, C isco switc h, or Cisc o router.
Other event triggers use MAC authentication bypass (MAB) and 80 2.1X authentication messages.
Use CDP if port authentication is enabled and the RADIUS server does not send an event trigger.
Select LLDP to apply auto configuration if authentication fails.
If authentication is enabled on a port, a switch ignores CDP and LLDP messages unless the cdp keyword
is enabled.
When using 802.1X or MAB authentica tion, configure the RADI US server to support the Cisco
attribute-value (AV) pair auto-sma rt-por t=event trigger.
When CDP-identified devices advertise multiple capabilities, a switch chooses a capability in this
priority order: switch, router, ac cess point, lightweigh t access point, phon e, host.
To verify that an ASP macro is applied to an interface, use the show running config command.
cdp Selects CDP as fallback mode.
lldp Selects LLDP as fallback mode.
