Macro Failure and the Reset Operation

A Smartport macro might fail if there is a conflict between the existing configuration of the port and a Smartport macro.

When a Smartport macro fails, a SYSLOG message containing the following parameters is sent:

The reason for the failure can be displayed in the Port Settings page, Show Diagnostics popup.

When a Smartport macro fails on a port, the status of the port is set to Unknown.

After the source of the problem is determined and the existing configuration or Smartport macro is corrected, you must perform a reset operation to reset the port before it can be reapplied with a Smartport type (in the Port Settings, Edit page).
