Auto Smartports and Static Smartports Macros CLI Commands

macro

To apply a macro to an interface or to apply and debug a macro on an interface, use the macro interface configuration command.

macro { apply | trace } macro-name [ parameter { value }] [ parameter { value }]
[ parameter { value }]

 
Syntax Description

apply

Applies a macro to an interface.

trace

Applies a macro to an interface and then debugs it.

macro-name

Specifies the name of the macro.

parameter value

(Optional) Specifies unique parameter values that are specific to the interface. You can enter up to three keyword-value pairs. Parameter keyword matching is case sensitive. All matching occurrences of the keyword are replaced with the corresponding value.

 
Command Default

This command has no default setting.

 
Command Modes

Interface configuration

 
Usage Guidelines

You can use the macro apply macro-name interface configuration command to apply and show the macros running on an interface.

You can use the macro trace macro-name interface configuration command to apply and then debug the macro to find any syntax or configuration errors.

If a command fails because of a syntax error or a configuration error when you apply a macro, the macro continues to apply the remaining commands to the interface.

When creating a macro that requires the assignment of unique values, use the parameter value keywords to designate values specific to the interface.

Keyword matching is case sensitive. All matching occurrences of the keyword are replaced with the corresponding value. Any full match of a keyword, even if it is part of a larger string, is considered a match and is replaced by the corresponding value.

Some macros might contain keywords that require a parameter value. You can use the macro apply macro-name ? command to display a list of any required values in the macro. If you apply a macro without entering the keyword values, the commands are invalid and are not applied.

There are Cisco-default Smartports macros embedded in the switch software. You can display these macros and the commands that they contain by using the show parser macro user EXEC command.

Follow these guidelines when you apply a Cisco-default Smartports macro on an interface:

  • Display all macros on the switch by using the show parser macro user EXEC command. Display the contents of a specific macro by using the show parser macro name macro-name user EXEC command.
  • Keywords that begin with $ mean that a unique parameter value is required. Append the Cisco-default macro with the required values by using the parameter value keywords.

The Cisco-default macros use the $ character to identify required keywords. You can use the $ character to define keywords when you create a macro.

When you apply a macro to an interface, the macro name is automatically added to the interface. You can display the applied commands and macro names by using the show running-config interface interface-id user EXEC command.

A macro applied to an interface range behaves the same way as a macro applied to a single interface. When you use an interface range, the macro is applied sequentially to each interface within the range. If a macro command fails on one interface, it is still applied to the remaining interfaces.

You can delete a macro-applied configuration on an interface by entering the default interface interface-id interface configuration command.

Examples

After you use the macro name global configuration command, you can apply it to an interface. This example shows how to apply a user-created macro called duplex to an interface:

Switch(config-if)# macro apply duplex
 

To debug a macro, use the macro trace interface configuration command to find any syntax or configuration errors in the macro as it is applied to an interface.

Switch(config-if)# macro trace duplex
Applying command...‘duplex auto’
%Error Unknown error.
Applying command...‘speed nonegotiate’
 

This example shows how to display the Cisco-default cisco-desktop macro and how to apply the macro and set the access VLAN ID to 25 on an interface:

Switch# show parser macro cisco-desktop
--------------------------------------------------------------
Macro name : cisco-desktop
Macro type : default
 
# Basic interface - Enable data VLAN only
# Recommended value for access vlan (AVID) should not be 1
switchport access vlan $AVID
switchport mode access
 
# Enable port security limiting port to a single
# MAC address -- that of desktop
switchport port-security
switchport port-security maximum 1
 
# Ensure port-security age is greater than one minute
# and use inactivity timer
switchport port-security violation restrict
switchport port-security aging time 2
switchport port-security aging type inactivity
 
# Configure port as an edge network port
spanning-tree portfast
spanning-tree bpduguard enable
--------------------------------------------------------------
Switch#
Switch# configure terminal
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
Switch(config)# interface gigabitethernet1/0/4
Switch(config-if)# macro apply cisco-desktop $AVID 25

Usage Guidelines

Use the macro auto device global configuration command to replace macro default parameter values with values that are specific to your switch. Use the no form of this command to remove the parameter values.

Use the show macro device privileged EXEC command to display the contents of the macros. Use the parameter = value keywords to replace default parameter values within a specific macro.

You can also use the macro auto execute global configuration command to specify default parameter values. This command also requires that you specify an event trigger and a built-in or user-defined macro. If you enable both the macro auto device and the macro auto execute commands, the parameters specified in the command last executed is applied to the switch. Only one command is active on the switch.

To verify that a macro is applied to an interface, use the show macro auto interface user EXEC command.

Command Modes

Global configuration

 
Usage Guidelines

Use the macro auto execute global configuration command to replace the built-in macro default values with values that are specific to your switch.

The switch automatically maps from event triggers to built-in macros. The built-in macros are system-defined macros in the software image. You can also create user-defined macros by using the Cisco IOS shell scripting capability.

You can create new event triggers by using the shell trigger global configuration commands. Use the show shell triggers privileged EXEC command to display the contents of the user-defined triggers and macros.

You can use the macro auto mac-address-group global configuration command to create event triggers for devices that do not support Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDP) or Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP).

You can use the remote macro feature to store macros in a central location for designated network switches to use. You can then maintain and update the macro files for use by multiple switches. Use remote url to configure the remote server location and macro path information. There are no specific file extension requirements for saved macro files.

Auto Smartports macros and antimacros (the antimacro is the portion of the applied macro that removes it at link down) have these guidelines and limitations:

  • You can delete or change the built-in macros. 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.
  • If you enable both the macro auto device and the macro auto execute global configuration commands, the parameters specified in the command last executed are applied to the switch. Only one command is active on the switch.
  • To avoid system conflicts when macros are applied, remove all port configurations except for 802.1x authentication.
  • Do not configure port security when enabling Auto Smartports on the switch.
  • If the macro conflicts with the original configuration, either the macro does not apply some of the original configuration commands, or the antimacro does not remove them. (The antimacro is the portion of the applied macro that removes the macro at a link-down event.)

For example, if 802.1x authentication is enabled, you cannot remove the switchport-mode access configuration. Remove the 802.1x authentication before removing the switchport mode configuration.

  • A port cannot be a member of an EtherChannel when you apply Auto Smartports macros.
  • The built-in-macro default data VLAN is VLAN 1. The default voice VLAN is VLAN 2. If your switch uses different access, native, or voice VLANs, use the macro auto device or the macro auto execute global configuration commands to configure the values.
  • For 802.1x authentication or MAC authentication bypass (MAB), to detect non-Cisco devices, configure the RADIUS server to support the Cisco attribute-value pair auto-smart-port= event trigger.
  • The switch supports Auto Smartport macros only on directly connected devices. Multiple device connections, such as hubs, are not supported.
  • If authentication is enabled on a port, the switch ignores a MAC address trigger if authentication fails.
  • The order of CLI commands within the macro and the corresponding antimacro can be different.

Examples

This example shows how to use two built-in macros for connecting Cisco switches and Cisco IP phones to the switch. This example modifies the default voice VLAN, access VLAN, and native VLAN for the trunk interface:

Switch# configure terminal
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
Switch(config)#!!! the next command modifies the access and voice vlans
Switch(config)#!!! for the built in Cisco IP phone auto smartport macro
Switch(config)# macro auto execute CISCO_PHONE_EVENT builtin CISCO_PHONE_AUTO_SMARTPORT ACCESS_VLAN=10 VOICE_VLAN=20
Switch(config)#
Switch(config)#!!! the next command modifies the Native vlan used for inter switch trunks
Switch(config)# macro auto execute CISCO_SWITCH_EVENT builtin CISCO_SWITCH_AUTO_SMARTPORT NATIVE_VLAN=10
Switch(config)#
Switch(config)#!!! the next command enables auto smart ports globally
Switch(config)# macro auto global processing
Switch(config)#
Switch(config)# exit
 
Switch# !!! here is the running configuration of the interface connected
Switch# !!! to another Cisco Switch after the Macro is applied
Switch#

end
 

This example shows how to map a user-defined event trigger called media player to a user-defined macro.

1. Connect the media player to an 802.1x- or MAB-enabled switch port.

2. On the RADIUS server, set the attribute-value pair to auto-smart-port =DMP_EVENT.

3. On the switch, create the event trigger DMP_EVENT, and enter the user-defined macro commands.

4. The switch recognizes the attribute-value pair=DMP_EVENT response from the RADIUS server and applies the macro associated with this event trigger.

Switch(config)# shell trigger DMP_EVENT mediaplayer
Switch(config)# macro auto execute DMP_EVENT {
if [[ $LINKUP == YES ]]; then
conf t

Command Modes

Global configuration

 
Usage Guidelines

Use the macro auto global processing global configuration command to globally enable macros on the switch. To disable macros on a specific port, use the no macro auto processing command in interface mode.

When using 802.1x or MAB authentication, you need to configure the RADIUS server to support the Cisco attribute-value pair auto-smart-port= event trigger. If authentication fails, the macro is not applied. If the 802.1x or MAB authentication fails on the interface, the switch does not use the fallback CDP event trigger.

When CDP-identified devices advertise multiple capabilities, the switch chooses a capability first by switch and then by router.

To verify that a macro is applied to an interface, use the show macro auto interface privileged EXEC command.

Examples

This example shows how enable Auto Smartports on the switch and to disable the feature on a specific interface:

Switch(config)# macro auto global processing
Switch(config)# interface interface_id
Switch(config-if)# no macro auto processing

Use the macro auto mac-address-group global configuration command to create an event trigger for devices that do not support CDP or LLDP. Use the MAC address group as a trigger to map to a built-in or user-defined macro by using the macro auto execute global configuration command. At link-up the switch detects the device type and applies the specified macro.

The switch supports up to ten MAC address groups. Each group can have up to 32 OUI and 32 MAC configured addresses.

Examples

This example shows how to create a MAC-address-group event trigger called address_trigger and how to verify your entries:

Command Modes

Global configuration

 
Usage Guidelines

Note You can delete a global macro-applied configuration on a switch only by entering the no version of each command in the macro.

Use the macro global apply macro-name global configuration command to apply the macro to an interface.

Use the macro global trace macro-name global configuration command to apply and then debug the macro to find any syntax or configuration errors.

If a command fails when you apply a macro because of a syntax error or a configuration error, the macro continues to apply the remaining commands to the switch.

When creating a macro that requires the assignment of unique values, use the parameter value keywords to designate values specific to the switch.

Keyword matching is case sensitive. All matching occurrences of the keyword are replaced with the corresponding value. Any full match of a keyword, even if it is part of a larger string, is considered a match and is replaced by the corresponding value.

Some macros might contain keywords that require a parameter value. You can use the macro global apply macro-name ? command to display a list of any required values in the macro. If you apply a macro without entering the keyword values, the commands are invalid and are not applied.

There are Cisco-default Smartports macros embedded in the switch software. You can display these macros and the commands they contain by using the show parser macro user EXEC command.

Follow these guidelines when you apply a Cisco-default Smartports macro on a switch:

  • Display all macros on the switch by using the show parser macro user EXEC command. Display the contents of a specific macro by using the show parser macro name macro-name user EXEC command.
  • Keywords that begin with $ mean that a unique parameter value is required. Append the Cisco-default macro with the required values by using the parameter value keywords.

The Cisco-default macros use the $ character to help identify required keywords. There is no restriction on using the $ character to define keywords when you create a macro.

When you apply a macro to a switch, the macro name is automatically added to the switch. You can display the applied commands and macro names by using the show running-config user EXEC command.

Examples

After you have created a new macro by using the macro auto execute global configuration command, you can apply it to a switch. This example shows how see the snmp macro, how to apply the macro, set the hostname to test-server, and set the IP precedence value to 7:

Switch# show parser macro name snmp
Macro name : snmp
Macro type : customizable
 
#enable port security, linkup, and linkdown traps
snmp-server enable traps port-security
snmp-server enable traps linkup
snmp-server enable traps linkdown
#set snmp-server host
snmp-server host ADDRESS
#set SNMP trap notifications precedence
snmp-server ip precedence VALUE
 
--------------------------------------------------
Switch(config)# macro global apply snmp ADDRESS test-server VALUE 7
 

To debug a macro, use the macro global trace global configuration command to find any syntax or configuration errors in the macro when you apply it to a switch. In this example, the ADDRESS parameter value was not entered, the snmp-server host command failed, and the remainder of the macro is applied to the switch:

Switch(config)# macro global trace snmp VALUE 7
Applying command...‘snmp-server enable traps port-security’
Applying command...‘snmp-server enable traps linkup’
Applying command...‘snmp-server enable traps linkdown’
Applying command...‘snmp-server host’
%Error Unknown error.
Applying command...‘snmp-server ip precedence 7’
