Smartport Properties
A Smartport is an interface (port, VLAN or LAG) to which a built-in (or user-defined) macro may be applied. This Smartport feature applies a preconfigured setup to a switch port based on the type of device that is trying to connect. Auto Smartport lets the switch apply these configurations to interfaces automatically when it detects the device. Smartport types refers to the types of devices, which can be attached to Smartports.
Note |
If you have a 3.0.0.69 (or earlier) firmware version and you upgrade to the latest (March 2021) 3.1 version (or later when available), the default setting will remain with the Smartport feature enabled. If you purchase a switch that has the 3.1 firmware version (or later), the firmware will have the Smartport feature disabled by default. This change was made because some customers didn’t necessarily want to use the Smartport feature or it was causing an issue with connectivity and customers didn’t realize it was enabled. |
