Configuring Auto SmartPorts
Enabling Auto SmartPorts
Note By default, Auto SmartPort is disabled globally. To disable Auto SmartPorts macros on a specific port,
use the no macro auto global processing interface command before enabling Auto SmartPort globally.
To enable Auto SmartPort globally, use the macro auto global processing global configuration
command.
To enable Auto SmartPorts, perform this task:
Use the show shell functions and the show shell triggers privileged EXEC command to display the event
triggers, the built-in macros, and the built-in macro default values.
This example shows how enable Auto SmartPorts on the switch and how 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
