smartports macros and config

Oct 22, 2006 2 Replies

I have a config I want to use for several 4506 and 4503 switches. Other than changing the hostname and regenerating rsa keys, I can use the same config for all the switches. I plan to copy them to newly setup switches. Question is why would i need smarport macros? I think these are templates you can define on one switch and conpy them to another right?


Hi Tony,

When you apply a Smartport Macro on an interface, the CLI commands within the macro are configured on the interface.

When the macro is applied to an interface, the existing interface configurations are not lost.

The new commands are added to the interface and are saved in the running configuration file.
