Chapter 7 Configuring Smartports Macros
Configuring Smartports Macros
Creating Smartports Macros
BEFORE YOU BEGIN
Review the “Guidelines and Limitations” section on page 7-1.
DETAILED STEPS
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.
EXAMPLE
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.
