Chapter 12 Configuring Auto Smartports Macros
Configuring Auto Smartports
Auto Smartports Configuration Guidelines
• The built-in macros cannot be deleted or changed. However, you can override a built-in macro by
creating a user-defined macro with the same name. To restore the original built-in macro, delete the
user-defined macro.
• To avoid system conflicts when Auto Smartports macros are applied, remove all port configuration
except for 802.1x authentication.
• If the macro conflicts with the original configuration, some macro commands might not be applied,
or some antimacro commands might not be removed. (The antimacro is the portion of the applied
macro that removes it at link down.)
For example, if 802.1x authentication is enabled, you cannot remove switchport-mode access
configuration. Remove the 802.1x authentication before removing the switchport mode
configuration.
• A port should not be a member of an EtherChannel when applying Auto Smartports macros.
• The built-in macro default data VLAN is VLAN 1. The default voice VLAN is VLAN 2. You should
modify the built-in macro default values if your switch uses different VLANs. To view all built-in
macro default values, use the show shell functions privileged EXEC command.
• For 802.1x authentication or MAB, configure the RADIUS server to support the Cisco
attribute-value (av) pair auto-smart-port=event trigger to detect non-Cisco devices.
• For stationary devices that do not support CDP, MAB, or 802.1x authentication, such as network
printers, we recommend that you disable Auto Smartports on the port.
• If authentication is enabled on a port, the switch ignores CDP unless the cdp-fallback keyword is
in the macro auto global processing global configuration command.
• The order of CLI commands within the macro and the corresponding antimacro can be different.
Enabling Auto Smartports
To configure the switch to automatically apply Auto Smartports macros on all ports, use the macro auto
global processing global configuration command. To disable Auto Smartports macros on a specific port,
use the no auto global processing in the interface mode.
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps.
To return to the default setting, use the no macro auto global processing global configuration
command.
Command Purpose
Step 1
configure terminal Enter global configuration mode.
Step 2
macro auto global processing
[cdp-fallback]
Globally enable Auto Smartports on the switch.
(Optional) Use the cdp-fallback keyword to enable the switch to use
CDP capability information when a port is 802.1x-enabled and the
RADIUS server does not send an event trigger.
Step 3
end Return to privileged EXEC mode.
Step 4
show running-config Verify that Auto Smartports is enabled.
Step 5
copy running-config startup-config (Optional) Save your entries in the configuration file.
